Introduction On April 24, 2018, Allied Vision announced the release of two new members to its Goldeye camera family: the Goldeye G/CL-033 TECless and the Goldeye G/CL-008 Cool TEC1. These cameras are designed for demanding applications while maintaining an excellent price-performance ratio.

Affordable Options for Different Environments The new models expand Allied Vision’s portfolio of short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras, making SWIR technology more accessible across various industries. Both cameras utilize InGaAs sensor technology, which enables sensitivity in the SWIR spectrum from 900 nm to 1,700 nm.

Goldeye G/CL-033 TECless This model features an innovative design without a thermo-electric cooling element (TEC), making it ideal for stable temperature environments. Despite lacking active cooling, the camera achieves outstanding performance with low read-out noise of 32 electrons in high gain mode.

Key specifications:

  • VGA resolution
  • Up to 301 frames per second at full resolution
  • Power consumption: 6 W (<7.5W with PoE)
  • Ideal for temperature-stable applications

Goldeye G/CL-008 Cool TEC1 Designed specifically for environments with high temperature fluctuations, this model features a nitrogen-filled cooling chamber to prevent condensation on the sensor even in warm and humid conditions.

Noteworthy features:

  • Equipped with single-stage thermo-electric cooler (TEC)
  • Adjustable fan system
  • Temperature range: -20°C to +55°C

Outstanding Performance Both models deliver exceptional performance across various industrial applications requiring SWIR capabilities. They achieve impressive frame rates while maintaining low noise levels, making them suitable for demanding inspection and monitoring tasks.
