The Guardian Camera

| Icam's
long experience of providing specialist book handling cameras, both
microfilm and digital, installed throughout the world, has led to
the development of the new GUARDIAN camera base. The GUARDIAN is designed
to meet the complex book handling requirements of the modern archive
in the simplest possible way. The modular GUARDIAN can be purchased in several formats including microfilm, digital, flat platform and with full pneumatic book handling. The basic unit can easily be upgraded at a later date. A dual microfilm / digital head is also available. The camera column is motorised and is angled so that all documents can be aligned along the leading edge of the camera bed for operator comfort. High frequency cold fluorescent lighting is fitted with diffusers and shutters to protect delicate documents. A full range of book cradles are available. A book
shuttle is fitted as standard. The design brief was to use only
generally available parts so that this camera can be installed in
remote areas of the world. The simplicity of the design means that
no high tech skills are needed by service agents. The sophistication
of the design ensures first class operator ergonomics while maintaining
and improving the book handling facilities. The GUARDIAN Camera base is available in the following configurations:- *Simple camera bed *With full pneumatically controlled book cradle *As a digital camera base *As a microfilm camera base *With or without light box for transparency capture *All systems have cold fluorescent lighting with diffusers and shutters for document protection and operator comfort.
