Sierra-Olympic Technologies in Hood River, Ore., is introducing the G5IR 550CZ-18 electro-optical, long-range, target-detection and surveillance system designed for all-weather security applications. The 550CZ-18 is an advanced midwave infrared (MWIR) imaging system featuring long-range target detection with recognition capabilities. The 18X continuous zoom lens provides 18 degrees of horizontal field of view (HFOV) at wide angle and 1-degree horizontal field of view at narrow angle. The thermal camera system can detect human-sized targets at 18 ranges farther than 11 miles in good conditions. The 640-by-512-pixel indium antimonide detector with a 15-micron pitch is optimized to operate in the 3-to-5-micron, medium-wave infrared spectrum, commonly considered the best waveband for imaging in marine and high-humidity environments. Other all-weather applications for the 550CZ-18 camera system include: border protection, vessel traffic monitoring, critical infrastructure protection, and airport perimeter surveillance.
