HarshCam ruggedized Sony FCB camera blocks. Keep zoom and focus stable in demanding conditions.
Bring the imaging performance of Sony FCB-EV9520L and FCB-EV9500L to defense and surveillance platforms exposed to shock, vibration and temperature changes. HarshCam retains the same form factor and control architecture, so your existing integration does not need to be redesigned.
Maintain image clarity in demanding environments
HarshCam is engineered for conditions where high vibration and impact can disrupt zoom and focus. Internal mechanical reinforcement keeps the image stable while preserving the Sony FCB form factor, connections and control architecture, allowing you to move to a more rugged camera channel without redesigning the existing platform.
The operating range from freezing cold to high temperatures helps maintain stable imaging performance in changing field conditions.
Reinforced to withstand impacts above 40G, the structure keeps zoom and focus in place on mobile platforms.
The same Sony FCB form factor and control architecture accelerate the move to HarshCam without changing the existing design.
The −35°C / +71°C range applies only to the HarshCam (±) series. Vibration, mechanical shock, high-temperature and low-temperature testing under MIL-STD-810 must be verified using the current datasheet and test report for the relevant model.
HarshCam-9520L and 9500L: two platforms, the same rugged foundation
Choose the 9520L when compact integration and strong low-light performance lead the requirement; choose the 9500L when a larger sensor and enhanced stabilization matter most. Both series can be configured with the (±) option for an extended operating-temperature range.
HarshCam-9520L / 9520L (±)
Compact packaging, 30× optical zoom and STARVIS 2 low-light performance come together for mobile EO payloads where size and weight are critical.
HarshCam-9500L / 9500L (±)
A 1/1.8" sensor, 30× enhanced optical zoom and Super Image Stabilizer deliver steadier, more detailed long-range imaging on mobile platforms.
