Features of Vari­oCAM® HD Z

The high-resolution thermographic system VarioCAM® HD Z by InfraTec is the world’s first commercially available radiometric microbolometer camera providing a motorised 6× infrared zoom lens for the spectral range of (7.5 … 14) μm.

Equipped with an uncooled FPA detector, it provides brilliant 16-bit thermal images of the highest quality with (1,024 × 768) IR pixels. This combination of HD format thermal images and the lens with continuous zoom opens the door to thermal analysis of processes. In this way, users enjoy unprecedented attention to detail.

The potential range of applications extends from securing large outdoor and safety areas such as chemical plants and fuel deposits to environmental monitoring, animal observation and detection of hotspots as part of early fire detection. All these tasks can be solved precisely due to the automatic image stabilisation. Moreover, this is possible even at night and in adverse visibility conditions.

The equipment with high-quality components supports the efficient use of the stationary system 24 hours a day.

Due to different equipment options, the system can be configured just as needed for various tasks. Automatic threshold detection and signalling, as well as digital real-time image acquisition via Gigabit Ethernet, are just two of the numerous camera functions.

In hazardous areas, where installation demands additional requirements to protect the thermographic camera, ATEX-compliant protective housings ensure lasting reliability and precision. The efficient software IRBIS® 3 for image data acquisition and evaluation completes the VarioCAM® HD Z as the ideal tool for a wide range of IR monitoring tasks.

Features of this Camera at a Glance

Protective Housings

Reliable Even in Demanding Environments

All-weather-proof and robust metal housings protect InfraTec thermographic cameras from heavy use. As a result, they enable use in harsh environments, in dust, spray water and explosion hazards.

Multifocus Func­tion

Sharp Imaging of all Objects in the Frame

The innovative Multifocus function ensures that the quality of the images is completely independent of the depth of field of the lenses used or the distance of the test objects from the camera.

Infrared Lenses

Precision Lenses for a Wide Range of Requirements

Whether measuring the smallest details or monitoring over long distances, InfraTec provides high-quality, fast precision lenses for all types of thermographic analysis.

Permanent Autofocus for Optimal Focusing

Constantly changing object scenes require manual or automatic refocusing. The integrated permanent autofocus function makes this task easier. In the case of a change of scene, the camera automatically applies the optimum focus setting quickly and precisely.

The completely innovative, very powerful autofocus system is laser-based and works extremely reliably. Even under unfavourable environmental conditions, such as poor lighting conditions, darkness or low thermal contrasts on the measuring object, this function provides exactly focused thermal images.
