Mini videoscope from Ultrafine monitors confined spaces

With a diameter of only 5.5 mm, the camera can easily be passed through narrow gaps or holes. Its angle of view is 60 degrees and illumination is provided by four white light LEDs mounted in the tip.

The Ultracam is ideal for industrial applications where video monitoring is required in extremely confined spaces, such as in production lines, welding machines etc.

The low power consumption CMOS camera captures images with crystal clear picture quality, and plugs directly into a digital video recorder. The LEDs can be switched on or off by an in-line controller.

The Ultracam mini videoscope is one of the world's smallest cameras with integral illumination, said Ultrafine managing director John Patterson. It is also surprisingly inexpensive.

The videoscope can be supplied on its own or with Ultrafine's SX1000 pocket digital video recorder. This high definition recorder has a 3.5 inch colour display with speakers and measures only 130 mm (w) x 83 mm (h) x 26 mm (d).
