VEI; Night Vision Like You've Never Seen it Before

Chris Johnson — Thu, 01 May 2008 03:02:34 GMT

The days of being afraid of the dark are officially over! Valhalla Enterprises Inc. (VEI) of Florida has unveiled a new product line of Night Vision Systems under the brand name OceanView. VEI, the longest tenured and most prolific manufacturer of Marinized LCDs and Computer platforms in the marine industry, has dedicated a third of their recently expanded manufacturing facility to the new OceanView Camera system. OceanView cameras will be of special interest to any fisherman venturing out in the night or into hazardous navigational conditions. The OceanView line consists of five models designed to make use of multiple sensors such as thermal imaging and light intensification. The cameras will enable professional captains and novice boaters alike to conquer different environmental conditions encountered during night and day operation. OceanView cameras feature the trademark VEI rugged, commercial grade construction that has been the cornerstone of success for VEI over the past 20 years. According to VEI VP Jonathan Thaw, "We set out to raise the bar for performance and marine durability in the night vision arena and I am proud to say we have surpassed our expectations! OceanView cameras are already making captains' jobs easier and saving lives worldwide." The Apollo...

Chris Johnson — Thu, 01 May 2008 02:59:47 GMT

Monday December 3rd 2007. VEI (Valhalla Enterprises Inc) has today announced the release of their new 32" monitor, the latest edition to VEI's extensive range of Monitors, Computers, Control Systems and Night Vision Cameras. First shown at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show at the end of October, the product created a huge interest from customers and dealers alike and with a Pilothouse 500 nit and a Sunlight 1200 nit variant to choose from, this monitor provides designers and integrators new opportunities not previously possible. Combined with VEI's SSIR touch screen controller, boatyards are already specifying to use anything up to 4 x 32" displays which can be set up according to the exact requirements of the Captain or owner. The display can be full screen, or it can be split into up to 4 sections, which can be quartered or shown in a very useful "filmstrip" format. For example, this set up can show half of the display dedicated to the radar and the other half split into 3 sections such as the plotter, sounder and selectable CCTV/thermal cameras for example. Reformatting this is just a matter of drag and drop on the touch screen SSIR controller. On IMO vessels,...

VEI OceanView Zeus

Chris Johnson — Thu, 01 May 2008 02:00:08 GMT

By Ben Ellison VEI, the Florida-based manufacturer of marine monitors and computers, has jumped with both feet into night-vision cameras. Its OceanView line includes five pan-and-tilt models each named for Greek deities, hence the company's "Play God! Turn night into day" tag line. It starts with the $12,995 Apollo, which sports fixed 15-degree field-of-view low light and 35-degree thermal cameras and goes up to this $132,995 gyro-stabilized Zeus with three zoomable cams. At up to 32 control stations (now that would be some yacht!), it lets an operator switch between a 42-1.6-degree color daylight view, 30-3-degree low light, or 9-4.5-degree (digital zoom only) thermal, all of course aimed at the same spot. (The number pairs define the fields of vision that the cameras can zoom through.) Zeus can also track a target much like a radar does MARPA, as shown in the screen shot, or can point itself instantly at an actual MARPA target received from a vessel's radar. No doubt instant AIS target tracking, already available from competitor NVTI, will soon follow. An unusual feature of the whole OceanView line is "Quick Release Base Assemblies," which smartly simplify installation and maintenance and even allow interchange between boats

VEI; Why Is Everyone Talking About This Camera System?

Chris Johnson — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:58:59 GMT

Did you know that the VEI OceanView Apollo is the most unique entry level night vision camera in the world? The Apollo has not one but TWO CAMERA sensors built into one. A thermal camera and low light camera are combined into this one sleek unit. In a typical night travel situation the thermal camera sensor is only used about 70 percent of the time? The other 30 percent of the time a low light camera sensor is more suitable. The problem is this combination of camera sensors has only been found on much more expensive camera systems, we have solved this problem. VEI OceanView has been manufacturing this incredible camera combination for the last six months. The popularity of this product has been nothing short of unbelievable. Why not have the choice of viewing both of these nighttime images simultaneously? Both camera sensors can be shown at the same time on two helm displays or on a split screen. This camera also rotates 360 degrees continuously so you never lose a target. Its MSRP of only $12,995 has made the Apollo the camera of choice for cruisers, sportfish, mega yachts and workboats around the globe. Vessels of all types...
