Camera system.

The camera system contains two cameras: a day light camera with a HFOV (horizontal field of view) of 1.7-57.8° and a 36x optical zoom, as well as a 9 Hz FLIR infra red camera for night missions with a HFOV of 13° and a spectral range of 7.5-13.5 µm with an uncooled VOx microbolometer thermal imager. Both cameras are built in a gimbal to allow stabilization. With the FLIR IR camera one can detect a 1.80 meter tall man from 780 m / 2560 ft, recognize him from a distance of 190 m / 623 ft and identify him within 97 m / 318 ft (the metrics for a 2.3 x 2.3 m / 7.55 x 7.55 ft object are 2150 m / 560 m / 280 m or 7053 ft / 1837 ft / 918 ft). The cameras are operated by a hand control unit and the pictures shot are stored for further intelligence use.

With this camera set nothing is missed, be it day or night your observations will always be meticulous.
