MacArtney introduces new and powerful LUXUS Compact IP Camera
We are thrilled to launch the LUXUS Compact IP camera, our latest innovation in underwater imaging technology. Small, robust, and easy to integrate, it is designed to meet the diverse needs of professionals across various industries.
The new LUXUS camera introduces IP capabilities, enabling direct network connection for remote viewing and management. This feature enhances versatility, simplifies integration into various systems, and improves usability in diverse underwater applications. A 12-24 VDC supply powers the camera and consumes only 3.5 W, making it energy-efficient for prolonged use.
We are proud to introduce the LUXUS Compact IP camera, developed to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Its compact design is perfect for space-constrained applications, and its flexibility makes it an ideal choice for a broad range of users, including divers, civil engineers, and operators of ROVs and mounted templates,
says Ron Voerman, Managing Director with MacArtney Benelux.
Small footprint, high performance
The increasingly streamlined design of underwater technology solutions demands advancements in instrumentation, equipment, and systems development. A primary focus during the development of the new camera was creating a compact housing without compromising performance, which MacArtney's skilled engineering team achieved with innovative design techniques.
Compared to previous models in the LUXUS range, the new Compact IP camera stands out with its smaller size and IP feature, offering enhanced integration capabilities and improved performance. The camera features a 1/2.8" Progressive Scan SONY STARVIS CMOS sensor, providing a resolution of 1920x1080 at 25fps (2mp).
The LUXUS Compact IP camera offers a horizontal angle of view of 95.0° in air and 72.0° in water, with a focus length of >0.5m (F2.0). It supports multiple control options, including ONVIF (S), and features fully automatic or manual gain and exposure settings. The camera's minimum illumination is 0.05 Lux, ensuring high-quality imaging even in low-light conditions. The housing is sandblasted titanium for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, consistent with the other cameras in the LUXUS Compact range.
Positive user feedback
"Feedback from early users has been overwhelmingly positive. Users have praised the camera for its ease of installation, compact size, and precise image quality," states Ron.
The standard depth rating of 4000 metres and the low power consumption are highly appreciated features, and the Subconn® Micro connector ensures compatibility with existing systems.
The long-term goals for the LUXUS range include launching a small LED and IP camera with a higher data rate, superior image quality, and a TrustLinkTM connector as standard.
The LUXUS Compact IP camera is ready for immediate deployment and is available from stock. For more information, please get in touch with your local MacArtney operation.
