IR-transparent mazes for video-tracking
Ugo Basile Infrared transparent mazes offer the highest contrast for the best video-tracking performance, empowering your behavioral experiments.
High quality camera for rodent video-tracking. Provides precise results for tracking softwares in normal and IR conditions. Easy to install and very fast data transmission. Two models availabe: one with ceiling support, one specific for Fear Conditioning System. Tripods for frontal or lateral view available on request.
This is an industrial camera designed for science-grade applications. It comes with its own image and video capturing software although we normally use it in association with the ANY-Maze Videotracking software to follow the XY position and calculate all the activity parameters in up to 46 arenas.
One camera can track more than one arena and can be configured (not in ANY-Maze) to run at hundreds of frames per second using adequate fast USB-C cables. Notice that one camera can track more than one arena, as long as it falls in its field of view.
Its objective mount is a CS mount for the varifocal lens which can be used for adapters for C mount ones, representing the market standards.

The monochrome camera has a USB 3.1 interface and it is the perfect solution for experiments in visible and IR light. The camera includes a C to CS mount adapter, making it compatible to C and CS mount lenses. Different set of lenses are available for the different applications. High frame rates (>200 fps) can be achieved with special cables and included software.
Typically these cameras are used for videotracking appplications.
