Neutrino Ground ISR Series

Detector, continuous-zoom lens, and camera electronics — factory-integrated for long-range ISR.

Turnkey MWIR cameras that combine Teledyne FLIR OEM detector modules and continuous-zoom optics with AgileCore™ image-processing and control electronics from InVeo Designs. The lineup covers short, mid, and long-range ISR — from a 1.2 kg gimbal payload out to vehicle detection past 30 km.

Band: MWIR 3.4–5.1 µm
Resolution: 640×512 or 1280×1024
Vehicle detection: 17 – 34 km
Weight range: 1.2 – 14.5 kg

Neutrino Ground ISR Series thermal camera core

UNIT · NEUTRINO-GROUND-ISR

Overview

Each Ground ISR camera is a complete imaging system: a HOT MWIR detector (InSb on the ISR 1200), a fully integrated continuous-zoom lens with through-zoom focus and boresight retention, a long-life linear Stirling cooler, and industry-standard AgileCore™ electronics. Factory-integrated and optimized from a single source, they reduce development risk, cost, and time to market.

Because they carry the AgileCore™ camera electronics, they output finished video — 720p60 / 1080p30 HD-SDI plus NTSC and PAL — alongside 14-bit Camera Link and optional Gigabit Ethernet. That is the line between a Ground ISR camera and a bare Neutrino IS core, which would need separate electronics to produce those outputs. Low switching cost makes them drop-in upgrades for existing ISR systems.

Every model runs Teledyne FLIR's Prism™ AI detection, tracking, and classification models, and Prism ISP libraries for super-resolution, turbulence mitigation, and contrast enhancement.

IS module vs. ISR camera

The Neutrino IS Series is a camera module plus lens, for integrators building their own electronics. Ground ISR adds the third layer — image processing and interface electronics with standard video outputs — so it drops into a system as a finished camera.
