Solar-blind UV plus Full HD visible, with optional thermal module
Corona effect cameras
COROCAM UVS
Lightweight UAV corona camera, 740 g
Corona inspection for smaller gimbals: UV sensitivity of a full-size camera at drone weight.
Product overview
Corona sensitivity in a small package
The CoroCAM UVS pairs the solar-blind corona sensor (240-280 nm, 5 × 10E-18 W/cm2, 3.6 pC at 20 m) with a Full HD visible camera in a 740 g housing that fits smaller gimbals. An optional LWIR module (640 × 512, < 50 mK) adds thermal inspection to the same flight.
Six ways to look
Display modes combine UV, visible and thermal — UV+VIS, UV+LWIR, single channels or UV priority — with overlay accuracy better than 1 mrad. Corona is quantified by intensity-based count, calibrated for the irradiance of the selected area.
Main features
- Setup via Bluetooth; remote control via SBUS, CAN/RS232 or Ethernet.
- HDMI or composite downlink; optional Wi-Fi.
- Recording to micro SD (64 GB supplied): AVI 720p H.264 and JPG.
- Inspection-ready in 6 s; record-ready in 60 s; 10 user profiles.
- Powered from the UAV battery: ≈3 h on 40 W, 12 W consumption, no overheating.
- Horizontal or vertical mounting; 1/4-inch thread and M3 points.
Applications and operation
Applications
- UAV corona surveys of overhead lines, insulators and substations in service.
- Combined UV-visible-thermal inspection with the optional LWIR module.
- Close-up inspection with wide field of view on smaller drones.
In-flight operation
Power comes from the UAV battery or an external 9-60 V source; commands enter via SBUS, CAN/RS232 or Ethernet and the live image leaves via HDMI, composite video or optional 2 Wi-Fi, while recordings stay on the on-board micro SD card.
