Infiniti’s VIS/NIR zoom cameras utilize the visible and near-infrared bands of light to provide high-quality images optimized for long-range surveillance. They are designed to provide industry-leading performance and quality, with image resolutions ranging from HD 2MP (1080p) to UltraHD 8K/33MP.
Long-range imaging needs to see through large amounts of atmosphere which often contains particulates like smoke, haze/fog, and other atmospheric distortions. Our NIR bandpass filter (also referred to as a “fog filter”) allows users to isolate the NIR (near-infrared) wavelength of light during the day for clearer long-range daytime imaging. Cutting out the visible wavelength and isolating the NIR can mitigate the effects of smoke, haze and light fog, producing an image with better contrast and less distortion. Our optical fog filter lenses incorporate a motorized filter that is used with the camera’s monochrome mode and de-haze image processing to see better in low contrast conditions like smoke, smog and haze. Look for this feature on a selection of our long-range surveillance modules.
Due to the very narrow fields of view achieved by our longest-range lenses (less than 1°), it only takes a little bit of vibration to make the video unusable. Some of our camera modules, including our newest 8M-61X-OS, now incorporate optical stabilization, which is incredibly advantageous for long-range imaging.
With a full-zoom FOV of 0.36°×0.2°, just a tiny camera shake of 0.1° on the 8M‑61X‑OS would shift the image by 50% of the video feed height. Optical stabilization uses floating lens elements and/or sensors that counteract that image shift, allowing for the image to stay on target even when wind or small platform vibrations would otherwise compromise that image quality.
Look for Optical Stabilization as a standard feature on the 8M‑61X‑OS and 3M‑53X‑OS, as well as an optional upgrade on the 8M‑53X and 4M‑53X camera modules.
