COSMOS — A DEMONSTRATION OF DEVELOPMENT OF C/S EQUIPMENT AT JAERI; COMPACT VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

The Compact Surveillance Monitoring System (COSMOS) has been developed as a compact, simply, highly reliable CCTV surveillance system. The system is intended to provide a replacement for the IAEA Twin Minolta Film Camera Systems. The system consists of a recording unit and a set up/review unit The recording unit consisting of a CCD camera module, a 8mm VTR unit, a controller module and a power unit is enclosed in a tamper-indicating housing. The VTR module of very low power consumption is specifically designed for COSMOS capable of battery operation. The system can be operated for three months either by battery where mains power is not readily available or by AC powers. The prototype of COSMOS was completed in 1989, and the field-use model, which will be tested for acceptance at the IAEA, is under development
