Expertise


CST's core competency lies in providing seamless integration of camera, zoom-lens and controlling hardware/software design elements to an innovative, ruggedized and cost-optimised entity.

This expertise covers, but is not limited to:

  • Low noise, high sensitivity CCD cameras
  • High resolution ruggedized zoom optics, based on oil-free designs
  • Bore-sight retention of camera systems to within +/-0.2 mrad throughout the whole zoom range of the lens and the full temperature range.
  • Software for controlling camera and lens functions, such as auto-focus, auto-iris and high speed zoom
  • Software for enhancing camera images, such as fog & haze penetration, peak white inversion, noise reduction and expanding dynamic range.
  • Software for stitching images together and creating video overlays.
  • Analogue and digital video transmission interfaces.
  • Surface treatment for weather proofing enclosures and housings
  • Electronic and mechanical elements capable of withstanding the harshest vibration, shock and temperature conditions.
