The Nocturn MD imaging core is a rugged low light imaging core that features high definition resolution, high sensitivity and high dynamic range with low power consumption.

 

Powered by Photonis’ 1 inch optical format 1280×1024 pixels Lynx CMOS sensor and Microoled 1746×1000 pixels black and white monochrome micro-display, the Nocturn provides real-time imaging capabilities (from daylight to one quarter moon scene illumination) in the visible and near infrared spectrum. Its small size, weight and power (SwaP) make this core module ideal for integration into mobile and hand-held surveillance systems.
