9. Describe your product’s primary function as clearly as possible.
10A. List your product’s competitors by manufacturer, brand name and model number.
10B. Supply a matrix or table showing how the key features of your product compare to existing products or technologies.
10C. Describe how your product improves upon competitive products or technologies.
COMPETITIVE MATRIX
PRODUCT FEATURE
INL VISUAL FIRST RESPONDER
SEARCHCAM ENTRYLINK
CAMLITE 1000
REGULAR CAMCORDER
INL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Camera resolution and low-light sensitivity
Color CCD 480 lines 0.5 LUX
Color CCD 330 lines 5.0 LUX
Color CCD 330 lines 6.0 LUX
Color CCD 400 lines 1.0 LUX
Only the VFR camera produces broadcast quality images under extremely low light levels, including sharp close-up images of small details.
Camera transmit frequency 900 MHz 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz N/A
Lower trasmit frequency produces better wireless signal transmission through objects such as building walls.
Camera video encryption Yes No No N/A
Only the VFR system encrypts the video signal so it is secure from unwanted viewing by others, such as terrorists or other unauthorized persons.
Camera weight and design
2.75 lbs Lantern-type flashlight case
4.9 lbs Pistol-grip bulky case
1.2 lbs Baton-type flashlight case
1.72 lbs (without battery)
About half the weight of the other waterproof system. An ergonomic handgrip makes it easier to carry and capture steady, accurate images.
Camera sealed for decontamination Yes Yes No No
Can be used for biological, chemical or radiological response and then wet decontaminated by full immersion.
Camera transmission range
2,200 ft LOS Up to 5 miles with repeater
10,000 ft LOS (per spec. sheet) 1,000 ft LOS N/A
Allows for safer distance between hot zone and incident command post; with its wireless repeater, the VFR system extends the distance to up to 5 miles.
Cost $18,000 $15,800 $3,500 $600
The VFR's greater overall performance in transmitting a stable image, compared to Searchcam's performance, allows it to remain a competitive choice even though slightly more expensive.
Receiver typeTrue diversity with 3 antennas
Non-diversity single antenna
Non-diversity single antenna N/A
Only the VFR receiver uses a true diversity approach for less signal drop-out, better reception in urban areas and at maximum transmit distance.
11A. Describe the principal applications of this product.
11B. List all other applications for which your product can now be used.
12. Summary. State in layman’s terms why you feel your product should receive an R&D 100 Award. Why is it important to have this product? What benefits will it provide? (The value of the award for its promotional value is understood.)
