EOSS 500CZC

The Axsys EOSS 500CZC continuous zoom (100-500mm) cooled infrared camera sets a worldwide standard for mobile and stationary long range thermal imaging for surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting applications.

The EOSS 500CZC is a cost-effective and highly reliable EO/IR imaging system that is used in a variety of land- and marine-based applications such as deterring piracy in the Straits of Malacca, securing borders, airports and ports of entry, and protecting critical infrastructure from unwanted threats.

Operating in the 3-5μm spectral region, the EOSS 500 utilizes advanced cooled sensor technology in a 320 x 256, 30μm pitch focal plane array, or an optional 640 x 512, 15μm pitch focal plane array for maximum resolution (EOSS 500-S). The system is equipped with an automatically controlled defroster and protected with Axsys’ proprietary diamond-like hard carbon coating designed to withstand the harshest of conditions. The EOSS 500 also includes a bore-sighted, 26X optical zoom CCTV and an Axsys APS 50 precision pan and tilt system.
