PTZ video surveillance to transmit the eruption of a volcano
The surveillance camera Hanwha Wisenet XNP-6040H PTZ is being used by MBL to capture color images, a 2 MB, of volcanic activity and stream live video.
Surveillance cameras can be used for other applications such as the one being used to monitor the activity of an erupting volcano near Reykjavik (Islandia). Specifically, the camera has been deployed Wisenet XNP-6040H PTZ, manufactured by Hanwha Techwin.
It is being used by the media company MBL, to stream live video of the eruption and, despite the exposed conditions, it has captured color images of 2 megapixels of volcanic activity.
The camera was installed last February, tras el inicio de una fuerte actividad sísmica en la península de Reykjanes. Se produjeron varios terremotos de magnitud superior a 5 y miles de temblores pequeños, con una erupción que ocurrió el 19 March. La última erupción tuvo lugar hace aproximadamente 800 years.
La cámara XNP-6040H, suministrada a MBL por Hafnes ehf, el distribuidor autorizado de Hanwha Techwin Europe en Islandia, se instaló en una carcasa resistente a la intemperie y funciona con paneles solares.
“La intención es que la cámara permanezca en su sitio a largo plazo para que, además de entretener al público, pueda ser un recurso valioso para estudiantes de geología y vulcanólogos”, comenta Hafliði Jónsson, gerente de Hafnes ehf.
