El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias vuelve a confiar en la tecnología IP de Mobotix para nuevos proyectos

The manufacturer of IP video surveillance systems has once again been chosen by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, via SiempreWeb, your official partner in the archipelago, to carry out new projects in your facilities with your megapixel cameras.

The Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) is an internationalized Spanish research center selected by the Government as the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence, which has two headquarters and two observatories in environments of excellent astronomical quality: the Teide Observatory, on the island of Tenerife, and that of Roque de los Muchachos, on the island of La Palma), which together constitutes the Northern European Observatory (ENO).

The IAC headquarters is located in La Laguna (Tenerife), where astrophysical research and technological development projects are carried out, with a graduate school and scientific dissemination, while a second is located at the Astrophysics Center of La Palma (CALP), where the Gran Telescopio Canarias and the Magic Collaboration also have their offices.

For more than ten years, The IAC has sixteen network cameras Mobotix what, located outdoors and enduring adverse atmospheric conditions, They are still in perfect condition and working order.. These IP devices do not need motors for aiming or movement and, lacking moving parts, el mantenimiento queda reducido al mínimo.

Con solo 4-5 power watts, without heat or fan and about 3.500 meters high (at the top of El Teide National Park), These megapixel cameras operate in a wide range of temperatures ranging from -30° to +60°C. Since no computer hard drive is required for recording, There are no consumables in the entire video system.

These have been some of the reasons why the IAC has once again trusted Mobotix megapixel camera technology for its new project, which has not yet been disclosed (although everything indicates that it is related to the total lunar eclipse next 28 September), and where he has been working for a long time SiempreWeb, official partner of this security systems provider in the Canary Islands.

This is what Miquel Serra-Ricart has pointed out, IAC administrator, during the recent visit made by Jesús Garzón, regional director of Latam and Iberia businesses of Mobotix AG, and Luis González, director of SiempreWeb, to your facilities. “When something works as well as Mobotix systems do, how are you going to think of another option?”. We are more than satisfied with the quality of their solutions and ten years of problem-free operation guarantee that we are dealing with cutting-edge and durable technology., so obviously we want to count on them again for our projects”.
