World’s Best, Smallest and Fastest Ultrasonic Camera
SMI new ultrasonic camera BATCAM 2.0 is more powerful, and small enough to handle.
The Importance of Gas Leak Detection
Even a small crack in a gas pipe causes constant loss of money, and may lead to bigger costs in
cases of fire or explosion. Gas leaks must be regularly diagnosed to save money and prevent
serious hazards.
Existing Ultrasonic Detectors Work, but with Limitations

Gas leak detectors collect and translate ultrasonic waves into

audible sounds and digital data.
It requires professional knowledge and training to use
the device and interpret its signals.
Also, it takes a long time to inspect wide areas because of
small detection range.

How Ultrasonic Camera can Detect?
Each sensor receives the signal at different times, and the Ultrasonic Camera analyzes the
intensity and sequence of the received signals to locate the sound source.

The Importance of Arc Detection
Statistics from the Korea Electrotechnical Safety Authority show that there are more than 7,000 to
9,000 electric fires per year Electrical fires account for about 20% of the total number of fires, and
the main cause is arc (electric spark) phenomenon.

Electrical Others
Short 7.9%
Overload 3.9%
18.2%

Electric Spark 78%

Competing products require knowledge and training to operate SMI ultrasonic camera provides intuitive visual output
and interpret the device. that any first-time users can understand.
 SMI Ultrasonic Camera is Easy to Share the Results
Because Its results are interpreted visually, non-professionals can also easily shoot and share
the data.

Competing products require interpretation of the SMI ultrasonic camera’s data can be simply
data by an expert to share the results. extracted as video or image and be shared.
Who writes the history of Ultrasonic and Sound Camera?
Beginning from a rectangular microphone array developed in 2006, SMI has consistently advanced
sound visualization technology for optimization of performance and the miniaturization of
instruments.
