AOS S-VIT and SMIZE cameras are shockproof High-G cameras specially designed for vehicle impact testing and demanding industrial applications in high vibration environments. The X-VIT has internal memory up to 5.2 GB and GigE data connection, while the SMIZE is an extremely compact camera designed to fit into very tight spaces.

Both cameras feature internal battery for fail-safe data integrity and stand-alone operation and can operate in networked configuration with multi-camera synchronization.

The X-VIT Hi-G Camera

The S-VIT high speed camera is specifically designed for the vehicle impact test market. Like the highly successful VITcam, it offers outstanding performance in the most compact enclosure possible.

Features and benefits

• True stand alone and fail-safe protection of image memory data by built-in, rechargeable battery
• Built-in Power PC for field-upgradable Firmware (no need to return the camera for an update) and image data compression in the camera to reduce download time and diskspace
• Gigabit Ethernet, THE standard for camera networks. Simple integration into existing camera networks. Connects also directly to any PC (Desk- or Laptop) with Ethernet data interface, eliminating the need for a special "camera hub"
• Optional Compact Flash extension slot for Flash memory cards or Wireless data IF
• Shock-proof up to 100G, suitable for on-board applications

The S-EM MIL-spec Camera

The S-EM is particularly suited for all applications where a rugged,shockproof and light sensitive yet compact camera is essential: Airborne applications Range and ballistic tests On-Board MIL vehicle tests Harsh industrial and research environments where cameras are exposed to vibration, impacts, dust, moisture and other challenging conditions

Features and benefits

• True stand alone and failsafe protection of image memory data by built-in, rechargeable battery
• Built-in Power PC for field-upgradable Firmware (no need to return the camera for an update) and image data compression in the camera to reduce download time and diskspace
• Gigabit Ethernet for simple integration into existing camera networks. Connects also directly to any PC, eliminating the need for a special "camera hub"
• Compact Flash slot for Flash memory cards
• Time Stamping (GPS or IRIG-B)
• Analog or digital SDI video output
• Shock-proof up to 100G, suitable for on-board applications
• Tested and certified against MIL standards for extreme environmental conditions

The S-CHASE Hand-held Camera

S-CHASE is the ideal hand held high speed camera for: flight chase applications to record neighboring aircrafts Sports applications like athletics, tennis, golf, horse-racing, sky diving Mining applications Nature studies (i.e. animals, wildlife) The S-CHASE is a hand-held version of the S-VIT featuring a hand-grip with recording button that can be used with or without gloves, a mechanical aiming viewfinder that can be used in full sunlight, high-brightnedd LED display of camera status and a protected CF Flash memory slot for video storage. The S-CHASE has a built-in battery for 3 hours operation.

The SMIZE compact camera

Newer car designs (with curtain airbags) make the traditional through-the-window camera setting impossible; the camera recording the driver dummy its airbag has to be installed inside the car. But also less specific applications ask for a camera with the shallowest deep to allow the camera to be installed as close as possible to the object of interest.

Features and benefits

• True stand alone and failsafe protection of image memory data by built-in, rechargeable battery
• Ultra shallow installation deep of only 68mm (without the lens). Connectors on the side
• AOS data interface with heavy-duty data- and I/O-connectors. Together with the included SMIZE Adapter, the SMIZE camera connect to any PC with a Firewire IEEE3194a interface, eliminating the need for a special "camera hub"
• Hubs available for multi-camera setups (also with optional Compact Flash extension slot for Flash memory cards). Hub features a Fast Ethernet data IF for a simple integration into existing camera networks
• Shock-proof up to 120G, suitable for on-board applications
