Smile, You're on Camera




Apparently Britain has 4.2 million CCTV cameras, that's one for every 14 people! So if you have that feeling while moving around the UK that you are being watched, well you probably are.




Another interesting aspect of this growth in cameras is that the former residence of Mr George Orwell, author of, "Animal Farm" has 32 CCTV cameras around it within 200 yds! Therefore, be careful what you write, it may come true!!




I have to say, the growth of CCTV does not bother me that much. At the ripe age of 43 with three children in tow and, "she who must be obeyed" watching my every move there is not that much scope for activities that would interest all these cameras. Apart of course from those on the M42 which do bother me and have occasionally snapped me and added to my accumulation of motoring offence points.




Now, R Stahl of course has a vested interest in Cameras but not the sort that will catch you dressed up as Carmen Miranda or robbing the local HSBC. (although as I write you may want to do them a favour and put some money in the vault as you leave) The cameras I want to tell you about are those from R STAHL HMI Systems GmbH.


With over 20 years of expertise in operating and monitoring systems for both Industrial and Potentially Hazardous Areas R Stahl really is in a prime position to answer your visual needs in arduous environments. Hazardous Areas are of course hazardous to human life - always state the obvious jp - so the fewer humans present the better and hence the upsurge in visual technology in EEx areas championed by R Stahl. Be your need Analogue CCTV or systematic access via IP networked camera systems R STAHL HMI has all the answers.
For more information please contact Matt Withington or Chris Richards here in the UK or visit our acclaimed site in Cologne www.stahl-hmi.com
And remember - each person in the UK is caught on camera 300 times daily!
Smile Please.

Exhibition Vehicle


Hi All

Well finally our exhibition vehicle hit the road with its first outing at Foster Wheeler in Reading. The reception was fantastic and since then it has been to Norfolk, Suffolk and Ireland. The most rewarding feature of the exhibition vehicle is being able to touch and feel the equipment and with our own power unit operate most of the equipment too. For seasoned engineers and those learning about explosion protection for the first time the vehicle has a great impact.

If you want us to visit your site with the exhibition vehicle contact us at http://www.rstahl.co.uk/

We have lighting, panels, control boards, distribution boards and lots of other kit inside. Our future plans include the addition of a fully functional automation package on board to demonstrate R Stahl's market leading position in this field

More soon
