At Hi-Spy our technological developments are guided by four principles:
Durability
Every design must be robust and durable and engineered to be long-lasting
outdoors in all environments.
Vandal-Resistance
Every design must take potential vandalism into consideration and every effort
must be made to make it difficult for vandals to access or thwart the mechanisms.
Attractiveness
The overall design must be aesthetically pleasing. No change can be made
that does not consider the overall "look".
A Commitment to Innovation
We don't rest on our laurels. We have a proven record of innovation. Since
we operate hundreds of our machines for our own account, what we learn in
the field goes into improvements:
- Our reciprocating focus is just one good example. Vandals like to pull
off or break off parts that they can get a grip on and then apply excess
force. This new focus is never-ending. No end point - no grip - they can't
break it off. When our focus travels to infinity and you keep on turning,
it simply travels back to close focus and so on and so on.
- Our new "garage-door" shutter is another example. We bench-tested
it to 70,000 open/close cycles without a hitch.
- Another example is our new hub and spindle controlling vertical movement.
It is from the trucking industry and is built to withstand 2000 lb/in. at
60 mph. That means it is overbuilt by a factor of hundreds and that means
no problems for you.
- Yet another example is our "bronze bearing on stainless steel trunnion"
used for horizontal movement of the viewing head. It includes a rubber o-ring
which dampens the movement and ensures it is always smooth and easy for
the customer.
