RADCAMEpsilon®

A color sensor camera that offers continuous
viewing in the reactor containment building,and other radioactive areas.

”Guaranteedradiation-tolerant”

24/7 monitoringin any environment
The RADCAM® is a proven standard when it comes to advanced
audiovisual process surveillance within NPPs.

building

In close collaboration with the Swedish nuclear industry, we’ve built the RADCAM Epsilon, specifically designed for radioactive environments. RADCAM Epsilon
identifies leaks and monitors equipment, while increasing
safety and efficiency as it assists operations in decisionmaking.
With its patented neutron-absorbing outer body, hightolerance to gamma radiation, and an effective onboard cooling system, the RADCAM is designed to survive
within the harshest of environments.
The RADCAM incorporates a new patented-protectedmode that enhances its radiation protection, whichmakes it ultra-reliable in the reactor containment building

and other radioactive areas. The RADCAM also offers
high availability, brilliant picture and sound quality, auto
focus, 40x optical zoom, low light sensitivity and hightemperature tolerance (up to 90 °C) – all requested features by reactor and turbine operators.
ISEC designed the RADCAM to be easily serviced. Thecamera module containing the CCD chip and lens is easily
removed and replaced via two screws that are accessible
through a service opening at the back the control logic.
RADCAM Epsilon can be acquired as part of a complete
ISEC system, but it can also be integrated with an existing system.

EpsilonSee the difference withRADCAM® Epsilon
The RADCAM Epsilon is more than a camera,
it is a sensor platform that enable plants togenerate critical metadata by adding additional
modules to the camera:
Radiological data (built-in radiation
damage sensors, Dose rate sensor)

Audio data (Microphone assembly)

Temperature data(Temperature sensor, Pyrometer)
