Havis Introduces the new Docking Station for the Panasonic Toughbook H2 handheld tablet PC

WARMINSTER, Pa. (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

Havis Inc., an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, introduced today the new Docking Station for the Panasonic Toughbook H2 handheld tablet PC. This rugged docking station is Toughbook Certified to ensure reliable docking and performance in medical, enterprise and in-vehicle workspaces.

The Docking Station for the Toughbook H2 enhances mobile worker productivity by providing a secure location for tablet charging and connection to peripherals, such as barcode scanners, printers and keyboards. Users can easily connect up to three USB cables, with additional access to Ethernet, video, power and serial ports.

By utilizing a thin design and top-facing ports, the docking station maintains a low profile when mounted to other equipment or directly to the wall. Its easy-to-use strain relief bracket prevents loose connections and accidental disconnects. Havis also offers optional USB extension cables for more convenient access from either or both sides of the docking station.

In addition to the Docking Station for the Toughbook H2, Havis will also be releasing the Desktop Stand for Tablet Docking Stations. With the Desktop Stand, mobile workers can transition from their vehicle to the office with minimal effort and without having to remove the tablet from its dock.

TOUGHBOOK CERTIFIED DOCKING STATION

As a Toughbook Certified Partner of Panasonic, Havis knows what it takes to meet the industry’s toughest safety and quality standards. The Docking Station for the Toughbook H2 achieved Toughbook Certification by passing Panasonic’s rigorous testing process and demanding performance standards.

More specifically, this docking station was tested to withstand MIL-STD 810G vibration testing, in-vehicle crash simulations, environment testing and extreme durability testing. For the mobile worker, this testing ensures that their tablet will remain securely docked and protected through rugged driving conditions and extreme work environments.

SECURE DOCKING IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS

According to the Taking the Pulse® U.S. 2012 study by Manhattan Research, physician tablet use has almost doubled in the past year. 62 percent of U.S. physicians now own a tablet, and almost half of those have used their device at the point-of-care. Panasonic designed the Toughbook H2 as a more durable and sanitary device for hospitals and other healthcare environments.

Havis built this new docking station to complement the Toughbook H2 in these environments and provide a secure location for tablet charging and Internet access. The low-profile docking station complies with medical wall mounting requirements, allowing physicians to conveniently mount their H2 tablet in patient rooms, the nurses’ station and operating rooms.

Doctors can also avoid the hassle of switching from the tablet to their desktop computer with Havis’ Desktop Stand for Tablet Docking Stations. With the docking station’s easy access to peripherals, such as a keyboard and mouse, doctors can transition smoothly between rounds and office hours.

Individual Smart Pods can be programmed to flash between red, blue, amber or white. White LED options can be used as takedowns, work lights, or in all white mode act as an impressive flood light. Rear facing models have a built-in SignalMaster to act as a directional light for on-coming traffic.

installation and programming. Utilizing standard RJ45 connections, the CN SignalMaster can easily
be programmed with Federal Signal’s PA300-CN and SmartSiren Platinum.

Digital Ally Fleet Vehicle Video Event Data Recorder

DVM-250-FR-EMS-Software

Digital Ally Fleet Vehicle Video Event Data Recorder Enhanced

Digital Ally, Inc., a leading provider of fleet video systems used by thousands of companies and governmental entities in all 50 states and around the world, announced that the DVM-250Plus Video Event Data Recorders (VEDRs) now feature a series of new enhancements.

Previously only capable of using three cameras, the VEDR may now utilize up to eight different cameras while maintaining a dual recording feed. By customizing the automatic record triggers to activate specific cameras, users are able to gain the best angle for each type of event while minimizing video file sizes and making current or post-event review easier. For instance, an internal vehicle compartment camera could record when the back door is opened, a side camera could be activated when the driver’s side door is opened, the rear-view mirror camera and road-facing cameras could record when the vehicle swerved or was involved in a collision, a license plate camera could be activated when the vehicle was placed in reverse, and so forth. The automatic trigger can also activate the integrated monitor hidden behind the glass of the rear-view mirror, especially useful when backing the vehicle up.

To further balance privacy and recording file size considerations with storage, wireless transfer and ease of review concerns, the pre-event recording timer is now customizable. This provides fleet administrators with increased control over how long their systems record both before and after an event occurs. Designed to ensure that all of the important information regarding an incident is captured, pre-event recording saves video and optional audio prior to the event that triggered the recording. This minimizes the file size of recordings for wireless transfer and storage benefits as well as providing privacy and review benefits by only recording what is needed without missing any important events. However, the internal memory may now also be set to continuously record on a loop while only event recordings are stored on the SD card in case additional footage is required.
