Lascar Electronics PanelPilot B : Ruggedized Power Supply for undercover surveillance

MIB Electronic pride themselves on their ability to design , develop and manufacture a wide range of high-quality equipment . This equipment includes undercover surveillance smartphones , mini pan , tilt and zoom camera systems , laser , and IR audio surveillance devices , alarm system sensors , and much more .
Thanks to their extensive manufacturing capabilities , MIB Electronic also offer customisation services , enabling them to meet their customers ’ particular design needs .
THE CHALLENGE One of MIB Electronics ’ projects involved building Ruggedized Power Supply units for outdoor surveillance applications . The brief was very specific : the units needed to be weatherproof , hard-wearing , suitable for outdoor power supplies and able to withstand harsh environments .
The need for a display was also important , a display that provided valuable visual feedback by showing the voltage and status of the battery was essential .
THE SOLUTION After several attempts at finding a product that suited both the application and their client ’ s needs , MIB Electronic discovered the SGD 21-B from Lascar Electronics . A low-cost , ultralow-power , sunlight-readable , single-channel voltmeter with a sleek , monochrome 2.1 ” e-paper dot matrix display .
“ The SGD 21-B has an ultra-low power consumption along with a sun-readable display , both very important points for this application . “
“ The SGD 21-B also provides a quick and easy visual feedback , informing the user about the status of the battery pack .”
With the use of Lascar ’ s SGD 21-B , MIB Electronics successfully created the battery pack with the capacity to manage multiple output options to power surveillance equipment in a range of demanding situations including bad weather conditions .
