High Radiation Tolerant IST-rees C983 Compact System Camera | High Radiation Tolerant Camera Systems

The IST-Rees C983 Cameras offer a compact, sealed, underwater capable, high performance pan/tilt/zoom color CCD camera. Ideal for locating in areas where space is at a premium, the camera features an integral pan and tilt with mounting provision for additional lights and microphone. The integrated microcontroller supports many additional features including position feedback, temperature monitoring and optional radiation dosimetry for when the camera is used in radiation environments. The camera controller options provide for easy and cost-effective integration of multi camera systems including those requiring a mix of C983 and R981 radiation tolerant cameras.
