HOOD RIVER, OR – September 6, 2016  – Sierra-Olympic Technologies, supplier of infrared (IR) and thermal imaging components, cameras, and systems solutions for advanced IR imaging applications introduces the Viento 67-640 thermal camera for perimeter surveillance, robotics, and other rugged outdoor imaging applications.  The new thermal imager features a fixed focal length and fixed mount.  With a 640 x 480, 17-micron thermal imaging core, the newest Viento camera provides standard NTSC/PAL composite analog video output with simultaneous 8-bit / 14-bit Camera Link^® digital output.  The uncompressed digital output is for imaging applications that require full-fidelity data transmission. The Viento 67-640 is designed with an IP67-rated environmental housing, making it ideal for operation in hot and/or cold, dusty, moist conditions.  The affordable thermal camera is ideal for use with analytics products

that provide object detection and object classification, slew-to-cue, motion detection/analysis, and other enhanced image processing in extreme environments.

The Viento 67-640 has an automatic image normalization with an integrated mechanical shutter to deliver perfect image performance every time. The proprietary Image Contrast Enhancement (ICE^™) offers heightened contrast and scene detail in low thermal contrast settings. Multiple athermalized lens options are available from wide 90 degrees horizontal field of view (HFOV) to narrow 6 degrees HFOV. Other features include custom lens calibration options, color palettes (for digital only), plus digital zoom and scroll.

In addition to outdoor perimeter surveillance and robotics, applications for Sierra-Olympic’s new Viento 67-640 thermal camera include process monitoring, industrial imaging, security applications, rugged military imaging, traffic management, and maritime imaging.  An industry-leading, 2-year warranty is also offered with this thermal camera.
