Two New Global Shutter Cameras added to Harrier Range

We’ve expanded our Harrier autofocus-zoom camera range with new 10x and 30x global shutter models, providing flexible and compact imaging solutions for capturing fast-moving subjects without the distortion associated with rolling shutter sensors.

Both cameras combine a 3MP Sony Pregius S global shutter CMOS sensor with real-time Full HD video output at up to 1080p60. These cameras support precise image acquisition in applications including UAVs, ROVs, industrial inspection, robotics, transport, and remote monitoring.

Why Global Shutter Matters

In applications like UAVs, robotics, or industrial inspection, distortion isn’t just annoying, it’s a real risk to data integrity and decision-making.

The global shutter sensors of these Harrier cameras capture every pixel simultaneously rather than line-by-line, entirely eliminating motion distortion, even at full HD resolution. For engineers building vision systems around fast-moving subjects, that means cleaner data, more reliable analysis, and images you can trust for critical decisions.

Built for Real-World Applications

The choice between 10x and 30x optical zoom means system designers can match field of view and magnification precisely to their application, from compact UAV payloads to long-range industrial inspection setups.

Beyond zoom range, both cameras bring a suite of features suited to challenging, real-world conditions:

• Day & night operation for continuous performance across changing light levels
• Digital image stabilization to keep footage steady in mobile or vibration-prone deployments
• Noise reduction and defog functionality, ideal for low-light or adverse environments
• Privacy mask and motion detection, adding intelligence to surveillance and monitoring use cases

These capabilities make the Harrier 10x and 30x AF-Zoom Cameras with Global Shutter well suited to a broad range of sectors, including UAVs and ROVs, industrial inspection, robotics, transport, and remote monitoring — wherever fast, distortion-free imaging is mission-critical.

Straightforward Integration

The native video output format of the cameras is LVDS and CVBS, but the product range has been extended to include cameras with USB 3, HDMI, and Ethernet IP video output. This is achieved by tightly integrating a Harrier Camera Interface Board to make a pre-assembled and tested camera product with the desired video-output. The range of available video formats and camera control interfaces enable straightforward integration into new and existing vision systems.

The Harrier 36x Autofocus-Zoom Camera with Global Shutter adds an additional option for design engineers.
