In order to be able to use the infrared cameras of the PI and Xi series even under adverse conditions, Optris now offers a new outdoor housing that optimally protects the devices. The IP66 housing offers for the first time the possibility to integrate an infrared camera and an HD video camera together in one compact system. A compact USB server is also integrated in the housing. This combines the data from both cameras into one stream; transmission is then via Ethernet line. The housing is designed for temperatures from -40 to +50 °C.
