Ultra low-light performance, analog HD output, and flexible control make the Watec WAT-3500 the next-generation replacement for the 910HX series—ideal for industrial, machine vision, and security imaging.

The Watec WAT-3500 is a precision-engineered monochrome camera built for high-performance industrial imaging and machine vision applications. Featuring a 1/2.8-inch rolling shutter CMOS sensor and analog HD output, this model delivers outstanding clarity and reliability in ultra-low light conditions down to 0.000007 lx (B&W). Designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the 910HX series, the WAT-3500 ensures complete backward compatibility with existing setups for seamless integration.

Outfitted with on-screen display (OSD) control via the RC-01 remote, adjustable gamma and noise reduction levels, and digital WDR, the WAT3500 provides users with fine control over image tuning. Built with an advanced low-noise circuit and robust CS-mount design, it’s ideal for precision surveillance, inspection, and security imaging environments where detail and consistency are critical.
