IQSIGHT has introduced its next-generation MIC camera series, featuring the MIC 7100s and bispectral MIC fusion 9100s, bringing AI-enabled video analytics and enhanced imaging capabilities to critical infrastructure, perimeter security and traffic monitoring applications.

Formerly Bosch Video Systems, IQSIGHT said the new portfolio combines 25 years of MIC camera engineering with its intelligence-first video security platform to deliver visibility and detection capabilities in challenging environments where standard cameras may struggle.

Developed on IQSIGHT’s CPP16 platform, the new cameras capture detailed images in extreme low-light conditions. Both models feature built-in Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) Pro, which supports detection ranges up to 50% longer than previous-generation cameras while accurately classifying people and vehicles and reducing false positives.

The platform is also prepared for future generative AI-based scene understanding capabilities intended to help operators reduce nuisance alarms and alert fatigue.

“As we mark 25 years of MIC cameras, this launch reflects our continued commitment to advancing a video sensor that organizations have trusted for decades,” said Sachin Khanna, Vice President and Chief Product Officer at IQSIGHT. “Our ongoing investments in imaging performance and visual intelligence ensure long-range visibility and help operators detect, track, and respond to events with greater speed and accuracy in environments where failure is not an option.”

The MIC 7100s is engineered for optical monitoring across expansive areas and dynamic operational environments. It features a 4MP starlight sensor with 30x optical zoom and HDR X technology, providing up to 133 dB of dynamic range to capture details of fast-moving targets without motion blur in scenes with significant lighting contrasts.

The camera also incorporates AI-based Intelligent Tracking for smooth and accurate target tracking in applications such as perimeter and border security. Select models include integrated window defrosting to maintain image clarity in sub-zero temperatures and severe weather conditions.

An optional bispectral infrared and white light illuminator provides infrared visibility at distances up to 550 meters (1,804 feet) in complete darkness.

The MIC fusion 9100s combines a 4MP optical camera with a thermal imaging core in a single housing. Its Metadata Fusion technology overlays thermal detection metadata onto the live optical video feed, providing operators with additional situational awareness.

The bispectral camera can detect, classify and track targets at distances up to 981 meters (3,217 feet) through challenging visibility conditions, including complete darkness, heavy fog, dense smoke and obscuring foliage.

Both models share several engineering and security features intended for mission-critical applications. Their metal intermeshing gears provide resistance to shock and are intended to offer longer operational life than cameras using plastic gears and elastomeric belts. Solid-state motors with brushless positioning eliminate physical friction to support continuous, high-speed operation and smooth tracking while reducing wear and camera positioning slip.

The cameras feature heavy-duty metal housings certified to IP66, IP67 and IP68 standards, along with IK10 impact resistance and Type 6P protection. They have also been qualified under the U.S. Navy’s MIL-DTL-901E shock and MIL-STD-167-1A vibration tests.

Additional environmental protection includes C5-High marine-grade corrosion resistance, tested through 2,000 hours of continuous salt spray exposure. The cameras are intended for deployment in coastal, arctic and industrial environments.

For cybersecurity, each camera incorporates an integrated Secure Element 3.0 certified to Common Criteria EAL6+ and FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standards. The hardware security component provides tamper resistance and helps protect video data integrity across IP networks.

The MIC 7100s and MIC fusion 9100s are also compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for U.S. government, defense and regulated infrastructure applications.

With the new models, IQSIGHT is extending its intelligence-first platform across its MIC portfolio, combining imaging performance, video analytics and ruggedized engineering for security applications in demanding environments.
