Comments
Export Licence status
Full Frame rate with less restricted commerce licence, 9Hz NLR
Full frame rate Export licence controlled. 8.3 HZ option available
Full frame rate is the preferred solution. (Having a 8.3 Hz version 640 x 480 is like having a rev limiter on a racing car).
Size
181 (H) x 419 (W) x 237 (D) (mm)
325 (H) x 467 (W) x 347 (D) (mm)
Viseum Thermal/Optical is Low Profile smallest size, blends in better, not so obtrusive, easier to install.
Weight
11.3 Kg
20 Kg
Viseum Thermal/Optical is 8.7 Kg lighter and therefore easier for mounting, less Infrastructure needed. Viseum Thermal/Optical is suitable to many more applications.
Housing / enclosures
Fully marinised as Standard
Does not state
Viseum Thermal/Optical is treated for Marinised enviroments as standard in colour white.
Lens coating
Meets Mil Specs
Viseum Thermal/Optical as HCC outer optic and meets Mil standards, this is very important in Marine environments.
Colours
White, Tan or Black
White only
Competitor being only available in white limits its applications. Viseum Optical/Thermal suitable to many more applications. This can be a tender differentiator.
Sealing PTZ
IP67
IP66
Viseum Thermal/Optical is IP67 and is the much better option and for Marine / port environments.
Sealing of Pods
IP67, PTZ. IP67 Dry Nitrogen purged pods
Dry Nitrogen purged pods gives Viseum Optical/Thermal better sealing integrity.
Cable connection / Mounting
Via sealed Mil connector access underneath the unit, mating cable can be supplied
Via cable gland
Viseum Thermal/Optical mil connector ensures complete sealing, plus when mounted will not be not exposed to the elements. The cable glands on the Competitor is a significant weak point, and will not survive as long in the field as Viseum Thermal/Optical.
Mounting
By 4" PCD, will hole for Mil connector. Flat surface option.
Flat surface mounted
Viseum Thermal/Optical very well suited to going on masts, side wall mounts, and Viseum tactical tripods. If a flat surface mount is required we have a costed option. Competitor flat surface mounted only, limiting applications.
Voltage input
VDC
VAC, VDC
Competitor has limited voltage input range limiting its applications.
Power Consumption

65 W nominal, 195 W with heaters
Viseum Thermal/Optical has a lower power consumption.

Lens
100mm F/1.0 Motorized
100mm F/1.6 Athermalised, focus free
Viseum Thermal/Optical has the lowest F/# available for this size of lens, maximising the amount of energy transmitted to the detector. This equates to our Thermal imager being more sensitive thus providing better image quality and longer range performance. Also with the lens being motorised it allows the user to sharply focus in any potential target from 10m to infinity.

Image contrast Enhancement ?
Yes two Image Contrast Enhancements
This is an edge enhancement feature that Competitor do called DDE, that can be useful in some scenarios. Viseum has a sophisticated AGC and two levels of Image Contrast Enhancement, for the greatest image in all scene scenarios

The same good visible camera.
Service
Exchangeabe parts
Yes, PODS
Exchangeable cassettes
Viseum Thermal/Optical PODS can be taken off and exchanged in the field, so a good seal is always maintained. Competitor replaces the cassette they call in inside the housing, and when put back together only maintains IP66. Plus there may be a licencing implication on the Competitor.
Warranty
2nd years as Standard, option 3 and 4 year
2 years as standard
Viseum Thermal/Optical has two years warranty as standard and can offer a costed 3rd and 4th year and year warranty. Competitor has 2 years as standard.
