High-quality color video camera with integrated dosimeter for monitoring local radiation levels and calculating remaining video lifetime before beginning critical path operations.

The DC-18 Dosimeter Camera features a color video camera with 18:1 zoom lens integrated with an internal radiation sensor that enables continuous monitoring of the camera's ambient dose rate and accumulated dose. This enables timely replacement of the camera module, thereby eliminating unplanned down time while reducing significant costs associated with replacement modules.

Alarm indicators displayed on the TV monitor let the operator know when the underwater camera has been exposed to enough radiation to warrant replacement of the camera module.

Other dosimeter camera features include: an 18:1 optical zoom and 4X digital zoom lens for close-up viewing of highly radioactive objects, automatic focus that allows for picture-perfect viewing without additional focal adjustments, and a sensing device that provides outstanding resolution and color rendition.

The DC-18 dosimeter video camera is ideally suited for health physics and other nuclear related applications. The camera's hard anodized housing is corrosion resistant and completely sealed for use in air and up to 70 m (230 feet) depth underwater. Smooth surfaces allow for easy decontamination.
