DS-180 PTZ Remote Camera

Functionality, quality and affordability combine in a new generation of marine camera system.

The new DS-180 blends conventional CNC milled aluminium components with 3D printed parts and carbon composite materials and to create a revolutionary product in size, performance and price. A key feature is the lack or any type of gearbox to wear or fail. The unit employs only direct drive motors for accuracy, speed and reliability.

Class leading low-light HD and thermal sensors come together with proprietary control technology in a compact and rugged enclosure to give new levels of reliability, functionality and affordability.

Our Object Tracking software enables the camera to automatically track a selected object without any operator input. This enhances operational capabilities in navigation, search and rescue and surveillance, including evidence gathering. The recorded on-screen display shows the vessel NMEA data, and the camera azimuth to use as evidence or post-op analysis.

The DS-180 is small and lightweight camera, enabling a wide variety of mounting options. Dedicated anti-vibration mounts are available for vessels and other vibration-prone mounting locations.

It can also be used on UAVs with the necessary radio links.
