Industrial AHD cameras
skoopia offers numerous AHD cameras and TVI cameras, primarily to the industrial camera market, but also sees beneifts for the medical camera market. ​
​
As mentioned in the industrial and medical camera section, AHD or TVI is the most easy transition from CVBS cameras (NTSC cameras, PAL cameras) to cameras supporting higher resolution (industrial HD cameras, industrial Full-HD cameras, medical cameras (HD and Full-HD) and intrinsically also alows for 4K AHD cameras or TVI cameras).
​
The key reasons to go for AHD or TVI:
-
Superior image quality and resolution compared to CVBS
-
CVBS cabling is likely requiring no change (no engineering required).
-
Identical latency as CVBS (within frame)
-
Similar pricing if compared to CVBS
​
So, intrinsically, AHD and TVI provide superior image quality and resolution at "CVBS" pricing, while all other parameters remain identical.
* TVI provides identical image quality and performance, see this link that explains why skoopia pushes AHD.

​
Also note that skoopia provides industrial AHD/TVI/CVBS DVRs that allows display and recording (including measurement data) of the AHD/TVI and CVBS OEM camera video (Industrial AHD camera next to Industrial CVBS camera supported in detail, including aspect ratio changes management, see link).
​
Also note a complementing partner PS (www.ps-gmbh.de) supplies video amplifiers for AHD, providing excellent image quality over extreme long distances. The video amplifiers can be attached at the camera side (also a 14mm x 14mm PCB board: transmission) and/or at the receiving / DVR/grabber side (filtering and amplifying, larger PCB board: receiving), available for both twisted pair and coaxial cable.

AHD camera | Super small single board Full HD camera (14mm x 14mm) | 21C14AT
skoopia 21C14AT is a unique camera. It is the first in class camera providing Full HD output based on a 14mm x 14mm single board.
​
Key features of the industrial camera 21C14AT
* Full HD output AHD/TVI (1080p30/25)
* Sensor size : 1/2.7"
* True DOL WDR
* Differential active amplified video (Video+/Video-) as well as (Video/GND)
* Control : I2C, UtC
* Voltage Input : DC 4V ~ 16V
* Power: 0.8 W
* Overlay capability: Text / cross hair
* Single board PCB: 14mm x 14mm / smart cut-off of corners to fit Ñ„ 19mm
* Connected via FPC Connector : 10pin (1-2328702-0/TE)
* Extreme temperature operational range (see picture) from -40°C till 105°C
​
As can be seen from the above test results (made with lux 80 lighting), the camera continues to perform even at very high temperatures. Although noise starts to increase above 60°C, the camera remains operational only showing a true color impact at 95°C, but still providing color images at 105°C.
