Oxford, UK – November 26, 2024 – Quantum Solutions proudly announces the release of the Q.Cam™ , an advanced Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) camera designed for outdoor applications.
Redefining SWaP for Outdoor Applications:
The Q.Cam™ ™ sets a new standard for low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) in SWIR cameras, making it ideal for outdoor applications where space is limited and visibility in challenging conditions like smoke, fog, and haze is crucial.
Developed in collaboration with a leading partner, the Q.Cam™ is the first USB 3.0 camera featuring Quantum Solutions’ state-of-the-art Quantum Dot SWIR sensor, offering VGA resolution (640 x 512 pixels) with a wide spectral range of 400 nm to 1700 nm.
The Q.Cam™ is incredibly compact, weighing only 35 grams with dimensions of 35 x 25 x 25 mm³, making it perfect for integration in space-constrained environments. Its TEC-less design minimizes power consumption to an impressive <1.3 Watts, ideal for battery-powered operation.
Overcoming Outdoor Challenges:
Using SWIR cameras outdoors has traditionally been challenging due to varying lighting conditions and temperature-related image quality fluctuations requiring re-calibration of the camera to adjust to changing conditions. The Q.Cam™ addresses these issues with its advanced image correction technology, which automatically adjusts for factors like gain, temperature offset, and illumination. The camera can perform more than150+ automatic calibrations on the fly, ensuring consistent, high-quality images even in challenging and constantly changing outdoor environments. This advanced correction capability enables a TEC-less design, significantly reducing power consumption without compromising image quality.
The integration of proprietary Quantum Dot technology allows Quantum Solutions to offer the Q.Cam™ as a cost-effective and accessible solution for bringing SWIR imaging to a wider range of outdoor applications.
Seamless Integration and Flexibility:
The Q.Cam™ comes equipped with a user-friendly USB 3.0 interface, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and Python scripts for easy integration and control.
ITAR-Free and Ready for Global Deployment:
The Q.Cam™ is an ITAR-free product with a short lead time of 3 weeks, making it readily
available for global deployment in a variety of sectors, including:
• Security and Surveillance
• Defence
• Search and Rescue
• Environmental Monitoring
• Robotics and Machine Vision
• Automotive
