SHOTOVER Systems has announced its M2 Multi-Sensor camera system. The M2 Multi-Sensor system comes with SHOTOVER’s 5th generation, true 6-axis gimbal design and is the only EO/IR system that eliminates gimbal-lock and horizon-rolling.

SHOTOVER’s M2 Multi-Sensor features the latest in 4K Ultra-HD color and long life High-Definition HOT infrared technology, and they state that it offers unprecedented day and night clarity. Precision zoom optics are said to outclass traditional systems with better quality while maintaining greater stand-off distances. Other benefits include automated license plate recognition, 24MP digital photographs, automated steering, tracking, and other functions to simplify operation.

The M2 Multi-Sensor comes equipped with SHOTOVER’s next generation mission management solution with real-time augmented reality overlays providing instant identification of streets, addresses and POIs, and can also visualize weather conditions, aircraft traffic, ship locations, cell and radio emissions, friendly force locations, and more.

The M2 is essentially a computer vision system with a design similar to modern-day mobile devices versus the dated camcorder style of other imaging systems. It has far fewer parts so there’s less to go wrong or wear out; it’s highly automated making the system easy to use. You can connect it to the internet to conveniently add new features and functionality, or get immediate remote servicing and support.
