The Boson+ camera module and 14 mm to 75 mm CZ lens are designed for each other, providing optimal performance and a single system warranty only achievable from a single source. The factory-integrated system lowers development and manufacturing risk and improves time-to-market, making the reliable Boson+ CZ 14-75 ideal for unmanned aerial vehicles, perimeter surveillance, light armored vehicle situational awareness and targeting, and soldier sighting systems.
MARKET-LEADING THERMAL SENSITIVITY, CONTRAST, AND LATENCY
