The creators of the popular MOHOC helmet camera, designed for tactical applications, have decided to take filming to a new level by presenting the MOHOC 2 version at this year's Shot Show.
The new HOHOC 2 is a lighter and smaller camera than the previous version (43mm x 34mm x 95mm), but retains its unique low-profile outline and armored design. The biggest difference, however, is the inability to record the film on a data card as this feature have been abandoned in favor of streaming.
In the opinion of the manufacturer, such a change was dictated by safety reasons. The 3G-SDI streaming specification is: 1080p in 25/30/60 fps, 720p in 25/30/50/60 fps, 1080i in 50/60 fps. Analog video transmission in done in CVBS, AHD, TVI, or CVI standards. The 1080p 25/30 fps standards is also possible.
Another change compared to the previous generation is the resignation from a battery in favor of external power supply from a direct current source.
Inside one will find a Sony 1/2.8 "Color CMOS sensor, a lens with an F2.0 aperture and a 120-degree field of view, and an electronic shutter. The position of the lens can be adjusted in the range of 190 degrees to ensure correct video recording depending on the angle of the camera on the helmet. As standard, the camera meets the IP64 standard waterproof, and the connectors can be sealed according to the IP68 standard as an option.
The company is currently working on equipping the camera with IP, USB, WIFI, HDMI and H.265 streaming options. In addition, the manufacturer allows to order (a certain number of) cameras with various options of rear sockets and connectors - depending on the customer's request.
