REMARKABLE FEATURES:

  • High-sensitivity UV detector, which can detect UVc light at 2.05×10-18 Watt/cm2, this allows detection of the smallest corona discharges.
  • Metadata recording of camera settings and measurements in addition to manually entered environmental variables: distance, air temperature, air pressure, ambient humidity and wind speed.
  • 9Hz (or 25Hz optional) IR radiometric camera module
  • Ultraviolet ray intensity sampling box.
  • Control of a limited number of camera functions from a standard RC controller using PWM or SBUS.
  • Remote control of all camera functions from the laptop via an Ethernet link.
  • Soft sync or staggered zoom of the 3 channel cameras. The IR and UV channels are digitally zoomed in, which is visible...optically zoomed in to the minimum FOV, and then digitally zoomed out.
  • Manual or automatic focus for the visible channel, UV and IR channels have manual focus or can be synchronized with the visible channel.
  • The UV overlay colors have 6 presets or 255 selectable tone levels.
  • Control of translucency of the UV overlay.
  • UV threshold, integration control and noise reduction
  • 14 IR color palettes with contrast isotherms.
  • Auto or Manual IR Span.
  • Integrated LED flashlight and optional laser pointer
  • On-board still images, video and radiometric data recording in high quality formats.
  • Updating the camera software by downloading to the SD card.
  • Fast setup and startup avoids the need for power-saving modes.
  • USB port for media download and Ethernet port for remote control.
  • The On Screen Display (OSD) shows all relevant data information.
  • 15 months warranty.
  • Easy operation of the camera via a multi-function keypad.
  • Manual or automatic exposure of visible and IR (level) cameras, UV (gain) is manually adjusted.
  • Integrated GPS with internal and external booster antenna
