Full HD 1920 x 1080P video. 

XNite330C + XNiteBP1 Filter Installed.

With stock lens and the filter combination, camera can see from about 360nm to 380nm.  Optional, expensive, quartz lens can extend range to about 300nm.

2 Megapixel Still Pictures

Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Wince compatible.

Fitted with our XNite330C + XNiteBP1 filter which passes UV light while blocking visible and IR light.

Suitable for seeing sunscreen, skin damage, UV flower patterns and other UV applications indoors only with a UV light source

Can be attached to many smartphones

3.6mm Lens

NOTE: While the manufacturer of this camera claims it is a monochrome camera, it is actually a color camera where they turned down the color saturation in the firmware.  This means the camera is not as UV sensitive as our 8MP camera where we can remove the Color Filter Array (CFA) and Microlenses which block a lot of the UV light.  While this camera can see UV to a point, this camera is made as a low cost entry level UV camera.  The camera will work best indoors with a UV light source.  Outdoor sunlight, you get enough IR leaking through that you will end up with more of an IR picture than a UV pictures.  This camera is for indoor use.  For various technical reasons, we have not been successful in converting the 2MP to true monochrome.  The 8MP monochrome sees UV much better.

8 Megapixel Still Pictures

Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Wince compatible.

Fitted with our XNite330C + XNiteBP1 filter which passes UV light while blocking visible and IR light.

Suitable for seeing sunscreen, skin damage, UV flower patterns and other UV applications indoors and outdoors though for outdoor use, we recommend the XNiteUSBM-MNCUWL which has a fused silica lens that sees light much better and better quality UV short pass filter stack.

Can be attached to many smartphones

3.6mm Lens

The 8MP monochrome camera is a true monochrome camera where we have removed the microlenses and Color Filter Array (CFA) from the sensor.  This increases UV sensitivity by 6x. 

 


Note #1: You can use this in sunlight where the sun will provide the UV illumination.  Inside, you will need a UV light source such as our UV illuminators.  You cannot use a UV light source over 380nm because the XNite330 + XNiteBP1 filter block light above 380nm.  Please be aware that most UV LED lights advertise a frequency about 15nm lower than reatlity.  Shorter wavelength LED's are more expensive and almost all Chinese UV LED's are mis-rated.   An inexpensive rechargeable eye safe flashlight thiat will work with this camera is our

XNiteFlashF365-3W flashlight.

 

Note #2: The camera does not come with software.  When you plug the camera into a PC or Mac, the computer will automatically recognize the camera as a video deivce similar to a webcam.  Any software that can display video from a webcam, should also be able to display video from the camera such as iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Story Remix, Microsoft Photos, Skype, etc.  Connecting to an Android phone is usually possible though you may need an OTG adapter cable depending on your phone model.  For phones, we have used the free software CameraFi2.

Note #3: The 2MP cameras are not true monochrome cameras.  The manufacturer has turned down the color saturation in the firmware.  Thus the camera still has the Color Filter Array (CFA) and microlenses which greatly reduces UV sensitivity.  For much better sensitivity, you should look at the 8MP cameras with the IMX179 module which we can convert to true monochrome which increases UV sensitivity by 6x.

 

Hand with a circle of sunscreen.  The lens can be focused from 1 inch to infinity by loosening a set screw on the side of the lens and turning the front element.
