External power options

Alfheim Battery Kit

The Alfheim battery kit consists of three different battery packs
including charger and other needed accessories. The three batteries
included supplies with capacities of 2500mAh, 4500mAh, and
9000mAh.

Alfheim DC-DC Converter

The Alfheim DC-DC Converter is used in conjunction with the Alfheim
to supply it with power from a DC voltage source. The converter
transforms DC voltages from 6 - 30 V to 4.0 V, allowing users to
connect the Aflheim to e.g. a car battery.

Alfheim MMM
The 4V / 1500 mA Micro Mains Module (MMM) is a micro-size power
supply for the Alfheim functioning as an alternative source to
batteries. It is designed for long term installations and to withstand
shock, vibration, and humidity, assuring perfect functionality even
under poor conditions.

with the option to customize the camera to fit with the clothes used for
the operation.

Flexible Alignment Kit

The Alfheim Flexible Alignment Kit contains a set of 5 custom designed
Pinhole Lenses from Claresys Ltd and a HD Interchangeable Camera or
a Cylindrical HD Interchangeable Camera.
The lenses are designed to be relatively insensitive to misalignment
in the pinhole and can be pulled up to 8mm back from the face of
the pinhole to ease installations and reduce the risk of detection by
conventional means.
The kit consists of 5 lenses with focal lengths from 4.8mm to 29mm.
Included lenses: FA65, FA50, FA40, FA25 & FA12.

Angled Pinhole Lens from Claresys Ltd and a HD Interchangeable
Camera or a Cylindrical HD Interchangeable Camera.
The lens is designed to provide a 120 degree field of view giving almost
complete room coverage through a 1mm pinhole. The lens can be
pulled up to 2mm back from the face of the pinhole, and in addition
the lens is slightly insensitive to misalignments in the pinhole, making
installations much easier with a reduced risk of detection.
Included lenses: FA120.

Angled Pinhole Kit

The Alfheim Angled Pinhole Kit contains a custom designed Angled
Pinhole Lens from Claresys Ltd and a HD Interchangeable Camera or a
Cylindrical HD Interchangeable Camera.
The lens is designed to be installed behind a 1.2mm pinhole, from
which it can be pulled up to 2mm back, to reduce risk of detection. The
lens provides a 30 degree field of view at a 45 degree viewing angle.
This provides the ability to select an area of interest within a 360
degree arc at 45 degrees from the pinhole face.
Black & white and Color

Compact Telephoto Kit

The Alfheim Compact Telephoto Kit contains a set of 3 custom
designed Mid-Range Telephoto lenses from Claresys Ltd and a HD
Interchangeable Camera or a Cylindrical HD Interchangeable Camera.
