I'm into AI now aye I?

New AI PTZ cameras have been added to the kit list.

These cameras will lock onto the chosen subject and follow them around stage automatically without needing a camera operator.

Perfect for live stream jobs in the corporate world, or at music events or filming theatrical performances.

They can also work completely wirelessly and run off built in batteries, this is perfect for jobs outside such as sports events where trailing wires would be a safety risk.

Pm me if you are interested in trying these out at your event.

Excited to have added Starlink satellite Internet to my kit.
No more swapping 4G sim cards trying to get a good signal to live stream, now I just point the little dish upwards and it's ready to go with plenty of internet bandwidth to spare.
This kit is now available for hire to anyone who must have fast reliable Internet.
The kit can come with a variety of mounts (tripod, mast, magnet mount, clamp) with assorted power options.
PM me for more details.

Nearly finished a project I’ve been planning and working on for a long time.

Remotely controlled 20x zoom 1080p high definition cameras suitable for live events and live streaming without needing separate camera operators, one person operated.

Wired or wireless versions available.
The first photo shows the wireless hdmi version, tomorrow I make up multicore wiring looms for the wired SDI version for live displaying video onto LED screens with minimal latency.

Powered either by long 16 amp mains cables or completely by batteries

The stand shown is fully adjustable from 1 to 2.4 metres high, and there is another version on a 7 metres mast, with the cameras 20x zoom and stand flexibility there is a setup to suit all applications.

Control of the cameras can be achieved using any WiFi enabled windows computer or IPad or a dedicated control joystick keyboard via ethernet or wifi.
Switching between cameras via a laptop style video mixer with seperate recordings of both cameras and programme output to ssd drive and sd card for post-event editing.
Audio via digital wireless microphones and a Fairlight digital audio mixing system.

Good communication between operators is essential during a live show, event or in any noisy work environment.
Some crews use normal two way radios but this only allows one person to speak at a time, this is called Simplex Communication, this also needs the person to press and hold a button in while talking, using up one hand.

With these Peltor digital radios everyone can talk and listen at the same time without needing a button press, just like a phone call, this is called Duplex Communication.

We have 10 duplex radios and two base stations available for short term hire, they can be used as one large 10 way communication system or two smaller 5 way independent systems and anything inbetween. There is a choice of headsets, lightweight low attenuation headsets or high noise attenuation headsets for very noisy environments such as stage areas, motor racing or industrial construction areas.

Please contact VideoCol Services to discuss your communications requirements.

Lipstick cameras are compact, discreet, high definition video cameras designed to be placed where a normal sized camera can't go, or where a larger sized camera would ruin the look of a stage or event space.
They are weatherproof so can be used outside or in, they can even be submerged in water for short periods.
Common places Lipstick cameras are used would be on a drum kit, mounted to a guitar neck, or in an exhibition stand or a festival stage show where a unique and discreet viewpoint is required.

Our new Lipstick cameras are available with a selection of 8 different lenses and many different mounting options and can be used for live display or for recording.

Contact me if you are in need of that unique viewpoint for your show or event.
