MS-500
MS-500
The MS-500 is Canon's first advanced surveillance camera equipped with an ultra-high-sensitivity Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) sensor and developed for surveillance with clear colour videos of day and night at distances of several kilometres or more.
Key Features
Ultra-high Sensitivity SPAD Sensor
Recording with lesser noise
The MS-500 is Canon's first technologically advanced security camera, designed for surveillance at distances of up to several kilometres and capable of recording videos in crystal-clear colour both day and night.
In contrast to the traditional CMOS sensor, the SPAD sensor measures brightness by digitally counting each incoming light particle (or photon) using a process known as photon counting.
Canon Broadcast Lens Compatible
The B4 mount on the MS-500 makes it compatible with Canon's extensive range of broadcast lenses, including those that offer both high image quality and high magnification ultra-telephoto zoom.
Long-Range Surveillance in Dark Conditions
Advanced Surveillance
Seaport/Coast
Border
Infrastructure
Emergency response is required 24 hours a day, seven days a week for security and accidents or disasters.
- Surveillance of seaports and coastlines
- Surveillance of abnormalities near borders
- Surveillance of public infrastructure facilities and critical facilities
These are difficult-to-shoot scenes that requires recording from an extreme distance. The MS-500's newly created ultra-high-sensitivity SPAD sensor and the extensive selection of high-magnification, ultra-telephoto zoom broadcast lenses from Canon make it possible to shoot such difficult scenes.
Intuitively Designed
Rugged box-style design with a rear panel for camera operation that includes professional connectivity.
