Automated Security Cameras
Surveillance in Motion. Precision Targeting. Full-Spectrum Awareness.
Automated security camera systems, especially turret and pan-tilt units, are critical for perimeter defense, UAV tracking, and long-range surveillance. These systems rely on smooth, responsive, and quiet motion control to quickly reposition sensors or cameras while maintaining image stability and accuracy.
Helix Linear Technologies provides precision lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators engineered for the demands of defense-grade motion systems. Our components deliver accurate angular control, ultra-smooth rotation, and vibration-resistant movement that is perfect for optical tracking systems, sensor gimbals, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) platforms.
From land-based installations to airborne surveillance pods, Helix motion solutions are ready to support 24/7 situational awareness in even the most demanding field conditions.
Key Benefits:
- Precise pan, tilt, and elevation control for optical or thermal cameras
- Quiet, low-vibration motion preserves image clarity during rapid repositioning
- Compact and ruggedized designs for mobile or fixed defense platforms
- Configurable for autonomous systems, radar integration, or long-range optics
Enhance your defense and aerospace surveillance capabilities with Helix motion systems that are engineered for precision, responsiveness, and operational reliability.
