The UF600 is a supercharged, optimized high-performance version
of the UF500 and has been developed by Extreme engineers to
greatly extend night vision surveillance performance using
conventional CCD cameras and lenses. With dual units at input power of only 200 Watts each, the UF600 can surpass 400 meters (1,300 feet) in complete darkness when matched with its FSX800 model CCD camera and IR sensing zoom lenses. The UF600 will be
marketed as a commercial product without any special government
clearance as prerequisite to purchase.

The UF600 further underscores Extreme’s position as the leader
for active-infrared night vision equipment. Unlike that of
passive thermal systems, the UF600 delivers high-resolution
illuminated video suitable for use in intelligent scene analysis
and is easily integrated with standard CCTV system protocols.
Extreme engineers are also developing a new infrared illuminator
to exceed the 700 meters (2,300 feet) range. The next-generation
illuminator is currently in testing and is scheduled for a
mid-2005 release.
Similar to Extreme’s successful UF500 illuminator, the UF600
targets top-tier security applications. The UF500 is currently
securing utilities, reservoirs, roadways, fields and numerous
other sites. Government and defense have been significant
purchasers where integrated systems require precise,
high-resolution video capture in darkness following motion
detection by radar or by other threat-tracking devices.
“The UF600 pushes Extreme’s night vision capabilities another
step further into the distance,” says Jack Gin, President and CEO
of Extreme CCTV. “As an immediately-deployable surveillance
solution, the UF600 gives security professionals a powerful new
tool for long range night vision.”
