SM Instruments (CEO Kim Young-key), a company specializing in sound cameras in Daedeok Special District, made an announcement on the 20th that it has developed the world's smallest and fastest portable ultrasonic camera 'BATCAM 2.0' that can quickly detect gas leakage or electrical discharge risk by applying sound technology.


'BATCAM 2.0' drastically reduced its size (237mm) by using a digital micro-machine technology (MEMS) sensor. It can also carry 1.2 kilograms. It has been developed as the world's smallest and fastest-analyzed ultra-small camera.


Just as thermal imaging cameras shoot thermal images, ultrasonic cameras are the latest industrial cameras that measure ultrasonic waves that are not audible to humans and take pictures of gas leaks and electric arcs in real time.


The "BATCAM 2.0" uses 112 high-sensitivity microphones to measure ultrasound. Measured signals are converted into ultrasound images in real time through analysis technology independently developed by this company.

In particular, ultrasonic signals generated by electric arcs can also be filmed in real time by utilizing ultrasonic cameras, making it easy to identify minute defective insulators through filming.


Measurements can also be made from a long distance to check for short circuits such as insulators and transformers that are high from the ground.


The company has already completed verification of the performance of "BATCAM 2.0" at domestic power generators, chemical plants and semiconductor plants, and has been recognized for its excellent performance after comparative testing with its competitors' products.


Kim Young-key, CEO of SM Instruments said, "Original chemical sensors can be detected only when a certain concentration of gas is accumulated in the air, and sensors using conventional optical methods cannot detect gases such as ammonia and hydrogen, which do not contain carbon. However, ultrasonic cameras use sound to detect gas leaks immediately regardless of the type of gas or surrounding air flows."
