61X 20–1225mm Long-Range Visible/NIR 8MP Camera

Designed and optimized with long-range surveillance in mind, the 8M-61X-OS is one of our top performing zoom camera modules. The sensor boasts excellent spectral sensitivity for both visible and NIR wavelengths and features a motorized NIR filter (visible cut filter), making it a true day/night camera providing clear color images by day and black and white images at night. It also incorporates Optical Stabilization which is ideal for the narrow fields of view in a long-range surveillance camera. This module is a perfect synergy between precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art sensor hardware and the latest image processing for unparalleled range and performance.

Visible/NIR Optical 4K/8MP Sensor

The 8 megapixel sensor was designed and optimized for long-range surveillance. It uses a 1/1.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with a 4K UHD resolution of 3840×2160 and a fantastic signal to noise ratio of 55dB. The 1/1.8" sensor has excellent spectral sensitivity for both visible and NIR wavelengths and features an automatic IR cut filter, making it a true day/night camera with clear color images by day and high-sensitivity black and white images at night. The 1/1.8" sensor’s fantastic low light sensitivity gets the most detail out of the lower light levels that are an unavoidable reality with long-range lenses. The sensor also integrates the latest technology in real-time image processing such as BLC, HLC, WDR, EIS, 3D DNR, ABF, Defog/Haze etc. Each of these image enhancements can be automatic or user-defined and calibrated based on the application requirements.

Long-Range 61X Zoom Lens

The precision engineered 20–1225mm zoom lens offers a fantastic 61X zoom range from 21.7° through to a very narrow 0.36° FOV when paired with the 1/1.8" sensor. That's equivalent to a “full-frame” 35mm camera using a 5700mm lens. Additionally the higher resolution 4K/8MP sensor allows for the image to be digitally zoomed to 2X while still matching the detail of a traditional HD camera, making this our longest-range zoom camera for full-zoom detail, with an HD-equivalent FOV of 0.18°. Also incorporated is a motorized fog filter (visible cut filter) that is used with the camera’s monochrome mode and de-haze image processing to see more clearly through haze, smoke and light fog that render standard visible cameras unusable.

Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)

Due to the very narrow fields of view achieved by our longest-range lenses (less than 1°), all it takes is a little bit of vibration to render the image unusable. The 8M-61X-OS incorporates 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. The OIS can also be used in conjunction with Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to further stabilize the image, providing excellent reliability and image clarity.

Infiniti’s long-range 61X zoom range camera is a perfect synergy between state-of-the-art hardware and the latest image processing for unparalleled range and performance.
