High-sensitivity, modular high-speed cameras for industry and research
The AOS The S-PRIplus camera with its unique set of options can be scaled to the application. Should in a later stage the application require a new option simply add this specific option. Adding an option to the camera you posses is easy and performed “on the spot”. No return of the equipment back to manufacturing is necessary.
With unique features like built-in battery, stand-alone operation and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the S-PRIplus and S-MOTION high-speed CMOS cameras are ideal for industrial and research applications.
The entry-level, upgradeable S-PRIplus offers an unbeatable price/performance ratio with a speed of 1250fps at 800x600 pixels or 900x700 pixels at 1000fps, while the S-MOTION with 500fps at 1280x1024 pixels offers superior image resolution and fidelity for demanding applications.
The S-PRIplus and S-MOTION high-speed digital cameras from Swiss manufacturer AOS Technologies offers high light sensitivity, excellent colour fidelity and an easy-to-use control software packed with features.
The S-PRIplus is an entry-level camera with a very attractive price/performance ratio, yet it can be upgraded with a selection of field-installable options to a very advanced camera system for the most demanding research applications.
The S-MOTION includes all of the options plus an extended speed range up to 32.000 fps, making it ideal for demanding research applications like materials fatigue, structural dynamics, vibrations and impact testing.
The cameras operate stand-alone without PC or with a laptop PC for portable, all battery-powered operation, ideal for industrial troubleshooting or outdoor applications. The GigE conection ensures fast image download with easy cabling and connectivity across existing network infrastructure.

Compact, light weight rugged housing
The S-PRIplus and S-MOTION cameras are built into compact, sturdy all-metal housings, convection cooled with no fan or vents, ideal for industrial settings with restricted space or for outdoor applications.
Internal battery operation
Despite its small size, the S-PRIplus and S-MOTION cameras include an internal rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1 hour in standby mode or ½ hour in active mode. An external supply/charger is used for stationary applications.
Options
The S-PRIplus camera can be upgraded with a number of options, which can be installed in the field without returning the camera to the factory.
- Variable dynamic range and gain (5, 8 or 10bits)
- High resolution mode 1280x1024@500fps
- Extended speed mode (up to 4200fps at reduced resolution)
- Additional I/O channels for trigger and synchronisation
- On-screen display and automatic image download
- Multi-camera synchronization
- Extended image memory to 10.2 GB
- Built-in Compact Flash slot
- Video interface (SDI or PAL/NTSC)
Easy to learn software
The cameras are delivered with the AOS Imaging Studio software with an intuitive, simple interface for adjusting camera settings, video recording and disk storage. The software includes powerful features for adjusting the video quality and a manual tracking and calibration feature for basic motion analysis.
Automatic download for unattended operation
The full version of AOS Imaging Studio allows automatic download and saving of image sequences immediately after recording, ideal for unattended troubleshooting applications.
Fast download via gigabit Ethernet
The Gigabit Ethernet connection enables full-resolution real-time display during camera setup and recording, as well as very fast download of the video data from camera to PC. The Ethernet connection will automatically switch to fast Ethernet when connected to a base 100 network card. The GigE Ethernet allows up to 100 m cable between PC and camera using standard Cat6 cables.
Selectable dynamic range 5 – 10 bits
The variable gain and dynamic range options allows selection of the upper, mid or low 8 bits of the 10 bit data from the sensor, corresponding to a gain of 0, 2 and 4, respectively. The option also allows storage of image data in 5, 8 or the full 10 bits for balancing image dynamic range versus memory usage. With this option, one can acquire longer duration videos by reducing the image dynamic range.
Up to 10.4 GB internal memory
The internal memory bank can be supplied with up to 10.4 GB of memory, allowing recording up to 22.2 sec video for the S-PRI and 17 sec for the S-MOTION at full resolution and full speed. Longer sequences can be obtained by reducing the image size and by reduction of the image dynamic range.
S-PRI F1 and F2
The most popular feature set of the S-PRI are offered in a pre-configured model at a very attractive price:
S-PRI F1: 640x480 pixels @ 1000fps
S-PRI F2: 1280x1024 pixels @ 500fps
