Veterinary Infrared Camera Facts.......

• There is more than 1 camera that can be used to image animals; however they are not all created equal. Because animals, particularly horses, tend to move around constantly, there are a few things that are minimally            necessary in the camera used.  An appropriate camera for veterinary use should have the following :
1. It should be battery or computer operated so that the animal doesn't get tangled up in the various power cords. This feature also makes it easily portable for use in any rural area.
2. It should be fast in order to minimize the time needed to take the necessary images.
3. It should have a pixel count of 320 x 240 pixels or higher.  Less pixels cost less money; however, this is not the place to try to save on cost.
4. It should have a software package that allows for most flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency in operation and interpretation.

 

                          One of the services that we offer you as our client, is to help you select an appropriate camera and desired auxiliary equipment within your budget guidelines.

We are pleased to say that we were asked to be involved in the development of the imaging equipment seen in the photo above.

This new camera system is state of the art and allows for digital video imaging and analysis.

The camera weighs in at a miniscule 5.2 oz. (w/ lens) and does not require a battery as it is USB powered.

The handheld mini-computer that operates the camera also weighs less than a pound including its battery.

The computer and / or its software can be changed or up-graded when desired, without the need to buy a new camera.

The camera will also operate off of laptops, desk-tops, or other computers providing appropriate USB connection.

It is available in 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 pixel counts.

Because the camera and computer are two separate components,

there is almost no electronic "noise" to interfere with image quality (see sample images below).

The separate components also allow for taking revolutionary images such as mammary glands and other under-belly shots.

The installed infrared imaging software program is simple and easy to operate.

There is an included analysis program for use on your laptop /desktop when reviewing the captured video or single frame images.

This whole state of the art system has been designed to be completely portable without sacrificing the quality of any data stored for immediate or future use.

This is hands down, the best veterinary imaging system we have ever used.

Interested clients can contact us for more detail on this fantastic new IR camera system.
