Electrophysics, which develops infra-red imaging cameras, has introduced HotShot.
A number of interchangeable lenses and filters are available for the PV-320 which further allows users to optimise the camera for multiple applications.
The PV-320 comprises three distinct models, in the A, T and L series.
The A series features a diffusing chopper and is ideal for high dynamic range or wide ambient temperature environment application, including outdoor surveillance.

The Orion multispectral imaging system is available in both the SW/MW and LW range and is capable of producing video rate IR images at up to 240 full frames per second.
It's the scales that count
A new range of industrial counting scales suits the needs of a variety of industries where parts counting is essential for inventory control, packaging checks and component handling.
The T series features factory calibration for temperature readings up to 500C while the L series features an opaque chopper and a variety of detector window packages, which minimise fringing when viewing lasers between 1 and 16um.
"Unlike other uncooled sensors such as microbolometers, the PV-320's uncooled ferroelectric focal plane array offers a unique set of features that allows the camera to be used in applications outside the traditional 8-14um response window", said Chris Alicandro, Director of Sales for Electrophysics.
"Users also benefit from the PV-320's plug and play capability because the USB 2.0 digital output allows the camera to be effortlessly interfaced with any laptop, PC or computer system".
With 0.08C of sensitivity and 2% accuracy, users can rely on the PV-320 to identify the finest thermal details giving them the ability to make steadfast, intelligent decisions based on their object measurements.
The PV-320 is also the only broadband, uncooled imaging system available to professionals worldwide.
Like all Electrophysics imaging solutions, the PV-320 is backed by knowledgeable and dedicated customer service support staff.
Each of the PV-320 imagers boasts a compact (14 x 11.4 x 11.4cm), rugged, all-metal alloy chassis and incorporates L3's 320 x 240 (76,800 pixels) BST uncooled focal plane array running at video rate and delivering 80mK sensitivity.
End users can also take advantage of the PV-320's USB 2.0 real-time 14bit digital output for direct connection to any PC or laptop.
Software drivers for LabView, C++ and Visual Basic are available to system developers to facilitate the integration of the PV-320 into a wide range of existing systems.
In addition, Electrophysics also offers Velocity, a real-time image capture and analysis software package capable of time verses temperature plotting, exporting data and sequence (AVI) movie file creation.
Three versions of the software package are available to meet very basic camera control and computer display of real-time thermal images to a full radiometric analysis suite of functions.
