Simply The Tuffest Camera You Can Buy!
 
The entire line of S-series Tuffcam cameras was developed to maximize the overall utility and functionality of small, tough video cameras. An innovative new manufacturing approach from SVS, which breaks from the traditional method of housing a delicate camera within an elaborate box or shell, instead produces nearly indestructible, molded cameras that fit in the palm of your hand.
 
The S-series camera can serve a multitude of purposes and indeed, one unit can even perform a number of roles depending upon the situation. Waterproof to 1000 feet, these cameras can sustain shock forces as high as 1000g's and can accept a wide range of temperature. These miniature cameras are small and light enough to be used for diving, aerospace, shipping, fishing, marine, industrial, trucking, home security and more. They can be mounted on darn near anything - dive helmets, ROVs, subs, boats, fish nets, oil platforms, machinery, vehicles, homes, and a myriad of other products, items and locations. The Tuffcam line was designed to be virtually indestructible, therefore perfect for any location where a standard video camera just won't last.
 
Multi-Role Capabilities!
Unlike other video cameras, TUFFCAM can be used for anything, therefore, one camera can be used for multiple roles, saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars in camera costs alone. The graphic at right shows how just one Tuffcam can do the job of three specialized cameras.
A home owner mounts a Tuffcam on the house to monitor the backyard swimming pool. When he goes on vacation he mounts the same unit on his RV to enhance safety and security. Then he tosses it overboard to find where the big fish hide!
A patented manufacturing process ensures a solid body, with no air cavity except for the lens cavity, which is filled with dry nitrogen to prevent fogging under adverse conditions. The camera body material incorporates memory, absorbs shock, dissipates heat and is flame resistant. The patented material is absolutely 100% waterproof and totally encapsulates all electronic parts thereby ensuring watertight integrity and protection of all electronic components. Although not recommended by SVS, we have witnessed these cameras struck with a baseball bat and still operate without noticeable ill effects!

The S-series line of video cameras have been proven in the real world for years from thousands of feet below the Arctic ocean to thousands of feet up into the world's atmosphere. A few of our tougher customers and their use of S-series cameras should convince you of their performance capabilities:
Some of SVS's Tougher Clients
Naval Research Lab (NRL) Used to 1000's of feet deep for extended periods - all other information is classified.
Navy SEAL Teams Classified as to the actual use of cameras.
US Air Force Mounted on exterior of fighter aircraft to record in-flight functions and behaviors.
Hydro Group Deep well pipe inspection with color and infrared technologies .
Disney World Monitoring various artificial lakes, aquariums and outdoor high incidence areas.
 
The other major difference with SVS products is the price. While camera housings of whatever type are usually many times the cost of the camera itself, our cameras are usually no more than the cost of an average security camera alone. The patented manufacturing process and materials are what keeps our costs down.
