Fastest Live Vision - lowest latency
Low latency | Delta | Sum |
Integration time | 16.7 [ms] | 16.7 [ms] |
Processing | 2.0 [ms] | 18.7 [ms] |
Display | 8.0 [ms] | 26.7 [ms] |
XXL FoV - Widest Field of View
The total field of view does not simply summarize the values from each integrated camera. Particularly for side views, Kappa systems thoroughly cover critical view angles, achieving true surround views.
HD Excellence
Kappa HD cameras come with an extraordinarily robust design - a clear advantage over conventional systems. Due to the high resolution streams the mission won't miss even the tiniest detail.
Scalable solutions for your fleet | scalable with digital video distribution unit
We will advise you, comprehensively and specific to your needs; responsible for system integration, we will stand at your side long term. We adapt our DVE systems thoroughly to specific missions, to different tank types and models (e.g. Leopard). Safety and efficiency of your operations are our mission.
Digital Video Distribution Unit: Latency-Free Image Processing, scalable approach to fit any use case, prepared for future image processing algorithms as a part of Kappa’s turnkey system solutions for ground vehicle and retrofit programs (see datashee in the download menu below).

Complete scalable 12 sector LSAS system incl. DVE with extreme DRI and low light capabilities
Conventional systems mostly rely on a maintenance-intensive pan-tilt apparatus for the detection, identification and regognition function. In contrast the Kappa system uses an integrated high-performance zoom combined with the XXL FoV. A pan-tilt system is not required.
Excellent DRI range
Entry Level
Proven camera / monitor solutions capture every blind spot on armored vehicles, thus enabling safe operation and maneuvering.
Basic for all levels:
CMOS Camera (SDI or Ethernet architecture) |
Day & low light level (VIS / NIR) |
Latency-free imaging |
SDI monitor |
Camera/monitor system
Mid Level
The DVE System consists of several high-performance cameras and monitors, combined via a video management unit. The operator switches between camera views, thus acquiring a safe panoramic view.
