4K EO, Radiometric Thermal & a 2400 m Laser Rangefinder
The VIO G1 is an advanced lightweight EO/IR payload featuring a 4K zoom sensor, a 640×512 radiometric thermal camera, and an integrated 2400 m laser rangefinder on a stabilized 3-axis gimbal — built for industrial inspection, survey, and security missions.
A 4K EO zoom camera, a radiometric thermal core, and a laser rangefinder — all gyro-stabilized on a 3-axis gimbal. Click the image to enlarge.
EO, thermal, and ranging in a single lightweight gimbal — with AI tracking and a complete control interface.
A Sony block camera with 20x optical zoom (up to 240x combined) captures crisp 4K@30 video and 8.51 MP stills for long-range observation.
A 640×512 uncooled thermal core with ≤ 50 mK sensitivity and full radiometry overlaid on the live video, with an athermal 19 mm lens.
An eye-safe 905 nm Class 1 rangefinder ranges to 2400 m with 0.01–0.5 m precision — plus pinpoint target geolocation and geotagging.
Basic and smart object tracking plus AI detection of cars and people — expandable to more object classes via software updates.
