Dual Imaging Positioner System Cameras

*Please Note: Export License Required

The Cohu 6960-Series is a full-spectrum camera site surveillance solution in one integrated package. Two cameras on one positioner provide reliable surveillance or process monitoring in daylight, no light, and obscured visibility conditions. Select a thermal imager for extreme low light conditions, or environments clouded by haze, rain, smoke, or fog. A second camera is used for precise recognition, identification, or assessment. The day/night camera provides sharp color images in the daylight. When the sun goes down, the camera automatically switches to a monochrome mode that can still provide details in very low light conditions.

What sets the 6960Series apart is that it can be fully customized at offthe-shelf economy. The 6960 Series provides additional value by using Cohu’s dependable i-Series design for fast and accurate positioning with the ability to look straight up and down and in a 360° sweep. Our legendary IP67 camera enclosure provides a pristine operating environment for reliable operation and long life.

The 6960-Series is a total site surveillance solution. Cohu designed this product to meet stringent quality objectives and demanding environmental requirements at a price that makes it affordable to all levels of security professionals.

This functionality is ideal for both intrusion detection and assessment of targets.

This datasheet describes the positioner and current imager and illuminator options. Consult with your Cohu sales engineer for other components which may be available.

This camera system has been designed to meet the customized requirements of today’s security professionals with astonishing off-the-shelf economy.

DAY/NIGHT OPTICAL CAMERA

A Cohu CCD day/night camera is the ideal companion to a thermal imager for the intuitive visual information it provides. A thermal camera tells you something is out there; a Cohu high performance camera helps you see what it is. The camera features 540 lines of resolution with automatic day/night switching technology to assure vivid color images during daylight and high sensitivity monochrome images afterdark.

aSi MICROBOLOMETER THERMAL IMAGER

The Cohu 6960Series thermal camera may be ordered in one of two Focal Plane Arrays (FPA) for NTSC or PAL: 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 NTSC or 384 x 288 and 640 x 480 PAL.

The 640 x 480 detector provides a 307,200 pixel resolution, versus 76,800 pixels in a 320 x 240 detector. The higher resolution option offers greater ability to mark small targets at further distances.

The microbolometer image sensor provides 8-14 µm spectral range, best for short-to-medium distances and for wide areas of view. It is perfect for those applications where the distance being monitored is less than 5 Km. There are five different color pallets available within the camera.

Cohu offers multiple lens choices to optimize the camera’s field of view to the applications and to assure that you get the image you’re looking for.

The thermal imager features a remote focusing technique that moves the focal plane array, allowing the use of fixed focus lenses rather than costly motorized lens assemblies. The result is a simplified design with a sealed lens assembly.

IR ILLUMINATOR

An IR illuminator can be selected to match the camera on the opposing side. This design allows evenly distributed illumination with viewing distances over 200 meters (660 feet). Another advantage is the low power consumption and long life.

The Cohu camera/illuminator interface utilizes the ambient light sensor of the illuminator to control the day/night rollover of the camera. This method provides for the full monochrome capability of the camera by preventing it from reverting to the day mode when the IR level generated by the illuminator is present. Manual override of the illuminator is available.

COHU’S HIGHER STANDARDS

Because it is made by Cohu Electronics, you can be assured that the 6960 Series is engineered for reliability and value. The camera is protected by our legendary IP67 camera enclosure that shields your investment from intrusion of water, pollutants and corrosives that degrade the camera. This technology insures years of clean, reliable images and backs it with a world-class warranty.
