Rugged design for critical situations
of Pit Viper 360 The is built to withstand the rigors of tactical operations. Its rugged construction means it can be rolled across the floor, thrown downstairs, or fired through a window even if it's closed. This versatility makes it extremely useful in armed standoffs, hostage situations, and other high-risk scenarios where direct visual reconnaissance is too dangerous. Plus, it can be tethered down or mounted on a pole for strategic placement.

Innovative Panorama Technology
Instead of relying on traditional pan/tilt motors and expensive camera arrays, the Pit Viper 360 uses six thermal imaging cores to generate stabilized 360° panoramic views in real time. This innovative approach offers several advantages, including low latency, reduced size and weight, and reduced power consumption. Sietse Dijkstra, chief technology officer at Bounce Imaging, explains that the design delivers stabilized thermal panoramic video with extremely small size, weight and power consumption.
