New CN SignalMaster™ combines Solaris® LED reflector design and SpectraLux™ mulitcolor LED technology into a full featured warning light and directional light.

University Park, Ill, September 15, 2012: Federal Signal introduces the CN SignalMaster™ for advanced warning and directional lighting for law enforcement vehicles. CN SignalMaster is built with Federal Signal’s exclusive Solaris® LED reflector design for superior light output to the front and rear of the vehicle. CN SignalMaster can quickly be changed from a warning light to a directional light with SpectraLux™ multi-color LED technology.

Federal Signal’s advanced SpectraLux multicolor LED technology provides the ability for a single light source to change color while in motion. 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.

CN SignalMaster models are equipped with the FS Convergence Network for simple ‘plug-n-play’
installation and programming. Utilizing standard RJ45 connections, the CN SignalMaster can easily
be programmed with Federal Signal’s PA300-CN and SmartSiren Platinum.

A serial interface module with your existing light controller can also be used to program and operate
the features and functions of the CN SignalMaster.

CN SignalMaster is available in four- and eight-head models, and is suitable for interior and exterior
installation. CN SignalMaster models are programmed with 27 built-in flash patterns and can remain
in sync with other lighthead flash patterns or operate independently.

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.
