Description
Challenge
A naval vessel required a stabilized outdoor low light color camera and outdoor IR, a rugged camera to monitor irregular activity near the shorelines and out to deeper waters.
Development
The camera system would require a stabilization box for rough waters, a housing with an IP-67 rating, a pan, tilt, zoom mechanism with both a high-resolution camera color camera and an IR camera with custom cabling.
Solution
Integrate a Sony FCB-EX2700 ( Sony Legacy FCB Cameras ) and cooled long wave Infar-Red Cameras into housings, route their power, control, and video through a Moog Pan & Tilt QPT-50. The integrated cameras along with the Pan & Tilt unit were mounted on top of a “stabilization box”. The stabilization box had an integrated inertial measurement unit, IMU, along with a custom-manufactured CPU. Each housing needed to be sealed to at least IP67. A custom-designed and built cabling system was also integrated into this project. The completed system was then deployed aboard naval vessels.
