The 2712 is a smaller version of the successful 2553 series camera where a smaller lighter camera is
needed, without the extreme temperature range covered by the 2553. Even so, the 2712 will operate at
-20°C even when soaked overnight. It retains a +60°C high temperature rating. The camera body is
machined from a single billet of marine grade aluminium for maximum strength and minimum weight.
The camera operates in colour by day and can be switched (automatically if required) to monochrome at
night. Auto focus simplifies routine operation. Control is via a serial data link and an optional hand controller
is available for zoom, focus, colour/mono select.
The camera body includes a front sun hood and machined side grips to aid mounting by hand and improve
heat transfer in high temperatures. It also has an integral mounting sled with a tapped 1/4W hole plus 2
locating peg holes for alignment.
