Timed Shut-Off
The RAM Safe-T-Charge can be configured to shut down connected devices either by a trigger coming from the ignition of the vehicle or by sensing a drop in the DC voltage below a level capable of starting your engine. Select a predetermined duration of time to have your connected devices shut down to ensure you’ll always be able to start your vehicle. The audible tone starts five minutes before the timer shuts off power to your devices, and continues every minute until the power is shut down, which ensures you’re notified prior to power-down.

Constant Connectivity
Havis’ DS-PAN-211/221 docking stations were designed for every generation of the Panasonic Toughbook CF-19. They combine an aircraft-grade aluminum uni-body with glass reinforced PC-ABS impact-resistant plastic covers. Constant connectivity is maintained with a guided floating docking connector. The docks were engineered with fully functional rear-facing connectors. Mounting bracket and integrated cable strain relief allows for ease of installation. Theft deterrence is accomplished by the rugged locking system and front hooks by Havis. An LED indicator light keeps user informed of the dock’s status at all times. Strain relief on rear facing connectors prevents loose connections and disconnects.

High-risk Handy
ReconRobotics’ Recon Scout SearchStick pole enables police tactical teams to use any two-wheeled Recon Scout reconnaissance robot as they would a pole cam. Equipped with actuated jaws that are used to grasp the 1.2-lb. robot, the SearchStick pole is 20.5 inches long when fully retracted, but it can be extended to 72 inches. This allows an operator to easily see over a 12-foot wall or into a second-story window, all while maintaining protective cover. Throughout uses the robot transmits live video to a handheld Operator Control Unit providing operators with vital situational awareness that protects the lives of soldiers and tactical personnel during high-risk operations.
