PureTech Systems is pleased to announce its first entry into the security imager market, the VisionViewTM 180 camera.

The VisionView 180 camera next-generation outdoor security camera combines three EO CCTV imagers and three thermal imagers into a single ruggedized housing, providing 180-degree coverage for both day and night operation.

ULTRA WIDE ANGLE THERMAL CAMERA

Wide area surveillance coverage is difficult to achieve, especially in those situations where day and night protection is critical.

Typically, the large the area, the more security cameras are required.

With the VisionView 180 ultra wide angle camera, that is not the case.

This advanced camera features six imagers that combine to provide an ultra wide 180 degree panoramic coverage.

The sensor suite provides high resolution visible daytime monitoring with a second set of long range IR night vision sensors for complete intruder and threat coverage in total darkness, fog, smoke, and most obscurants.

The camera is fully weatherproof, rated to IP67 and deploys easily via Power Over Ethernet.
