Flexible and compact autofocus-zoom camera with 4K resolution

New Active Silicon Harrier 18x AF-zoom 4K camera HDMI

Our latest addition to the Harrier family of cameras brings 4K resolution to imaging systems and vision applications.

The Harrier 18x AF-Zoom HDMI 4K Camera is a compact autofocus-zoom camera with real-time 4K video output and 18x optical zoom. Fitted with a 8.4MP Sony CMOS sensor, the camera provides HDMI video at a maximum of 3840x2160p 30/25 fps and simultaneous CVBS analog output.

The camera also offers sophisticated camera features including Real-time True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), Day & Night mode – Infrared Cut filter Removal (ICR), Digital Noise Reduction (2D + 3D DNR) and Digital Image Stabilization. VISCA or Pelco–D/P Control Protocol over serial communication or USB (virtual COM port) are available for camera control.

With its small size and high resolution, the block camera is ideal for applications where broadcast-quality UHD vision is required such as medical and surgical imaging, high-end security and high-speed industrial inspection.

The Harrier 4K camera adds the option for razor-sharp stills and crystal clear video options to the Harrier autofocus-zoom camera range. Other HD Harrier modules deliver 3G/HD-SDI, HDMI, USB3 and IP H.264 Ethernet outputs with optical zooms of 10x to 40x.

We have a vision solution to meet every size, resolution and budget, view the full range online and get in touch to see which camera option will deliver optimum performance to your vision system.
