The CoroCAM 8 is a combined thermal IR, solar blind corona and video camera.

The CoroCAM 8 is a combined thermal IR, solar blind corona and video camera.

It features a high spec Sony visible camera, a radiometric FLIR thermal IR camera and a solar blind UV camera. The CoroCAM 8 is intended for use by professional HV inspectors. The combination of these 3 cameras makes it possible to do both thermal IR and UV inspections at the same time, saving time and effort. Co-location of electrical discharges and hot spots give the inspector more insight into the cause of the faults.

The CoroCAM 8 can be used to inspect HV infrastructure operating at 3.3kV and above.

THE COROCAM 8 FEATURES:

  • A high sensitivity UV detector, which can detect UVC light at 2.05x1018 2 W/ cm , this allows for the detection of the smallest corona discharges.
  • The On Screen Display (OSD) shows all the relevant information.
  • Camera software update via download to SD card.
  • A FLIR Radiometric IR camera module with a sensitivity of NEdT <62.5mK.
  • Syncronised Zoom of all 3 camera channels.
  • Selectable controls include:
  • Onboard still image and video recording in high quality formats, i.e FLIR radiometric JPG, Mp4 video
  • A large, robust mounted, variable angle, colour LED backlit LCD display with 640x480 pixels resolution optimised for use in full daylight makes for easy inspection.
  • A focusable viewfinder.
  • Zoom level & Visible focus control (Auto or Manual).
  • Auto or Manual focus of Visible and IR cameras with UV camera either manually focused or slaved to Visible or IR camera.
  • Auto or manual exposure of Visible, UV (Gain) and IR (Level) cameras.
  • Screen brightness control (Auto or Manual)
  • UV count sampling box size selection (1/4, 1/8 or full screen size).
  • UV overlay colour 4 defaults plus 100 hue levels.
  • Integrated GPS with internal and optional external booster antenna.
  • Rotational handle (right hand only) with primary interface keys.
  • Visible effects control (Backlight compensation & low light mode).
  • Recording mode selection.
  • Laser pointer and rangefinder with safety block off.
  • Fast set up & boot up avoids the need for power saving modes.
  • Easy operation of the camera with one hand via a multifunction keypad.
  • Quick keys to specific functions.
  • Changeable values include:
  • UV Gain & signal threshold levels, UV Integration.
  • UV overlay translucency & colour.
  • A 12 Month warranty, extendable to 36 months.
