IR cameras star at Aerosense
Launched at the recent Aerosense 2003 exhibition in Orlando (USA), the new Ruby handheld night vision camera from Cedip Infrared Systems generated considerable interest.
Using a focal plane array of 320 x 240pixel the Ruby camera offers a best-of-class thermal sensitivity of less than 80mK, meaning that an intruder can be detected at a typical range of 1km.
Designed for applications that require portability the lightweight and ergonomic design of the Ruby camera, powered by long-life rechargeable batteries, allows operators to use the system over extended periods without discomfort.
Operational utility is also aided by binocular viewing and the high brightness and contrast of the IR image display.
To extend battery life the Ruby enables special low power and screen saver modes to be activated.
In addition to handheld operation the camera can be installed onto tripods or masts and be fully remotely controlled via a serial link.
To extend the utility of the system a series of lenses are offered ranging from 30 to 9 degrees field of views.
The lenses are interchangeable, in the field, through a bayonet type interface. Request a free brochure from Cedip Infrared Systems ...
