ACSL SOTEN Optical Zoom Camera

he ACSL SOTEN Optical Zoom Camera is a high-performance imaging payload designed for the ACSL SOTEN NDAA-compliant drone. Featuring a 2.5x optical zoom, 10x digital zoom, and 25x total zoom, it enables operators to capture both wide-area views and detailed close-ups for critical inspections, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Its 20MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, mechanical shutter, and adjustable aperture (f/2.0 - f/3.0) ensure high-quality imagery with minimal motion blur. Built for mission adaptability, the CX-GB400 Zoom Camera integrates seamlessly with SOTEN’s swappable camera system, allowing for quick transitions between optical, thermal, multispectral, and standard RGB payloads. Compact and lightweight, it offers real-time image transmission and intuitive controls, making it an essential tool for public safety, infrastructure inspection, and defense operations.
