China TianYing HD1200P is a leading 4K 25~1200mm EO zoom SWIR NIR CCTV camera detects tanks 57km and captures crisp sharp color and IR images with exceptional clarity for precise real-time target alignment during zoom operations.

This compact, reliable, impact-resistant camera is domestic, serialized and specify focal length. It features a high-performance standardized data-driven continuous optical zoom lens of 25~1200mm and a global exposure sensor up to 8MP, with no chromatic aberration across a wide spectrum.

The telephoto edge image is sharp and complete, providing defogging clarity three times better than visible light images. It delivers superior 2MP clarity compared to traditional 8MP CCTV cameras, its 2MP sensor operates at -40 degrees without a heater; its outstanding infrared capabilities surpass many SWIR cameras.

Specifically designed for airborne, marine, and land tactical platforms, this camera offers an ideal solution for accurate measurement, target tracking, and crisp image surveillance missions.

Recommended Use:
1. Accurate measuring aim.

2. Accurate weapon sight.

Question(August 2025 vision）:
1. Why can't normal telephoto CCTV cameras see humans at 10km, even with lenses like 1000mm or 1200mm?

The stated focal lengths are often exaggerated; a lens labeled as 1200mm may only have a true focal length of around 1000mm.

Adding a 2x extender does not guarantee clarity and effective doubling of the focal length, especially over long distances.

Clear, sharp images with high color saturation enhance discernment, but factors like fog in areas such as seas and jungles can hinder visibility.

Additionally, some cameras inflate their distance claims;  for example, a civil safe 2MP 2000mm camera marked 22km might realistically see humans only about 16km; a civil safe 2MP 1600mm camera marked 250km might realistically see humans only about 14km.

2. Why do some large pixel size cameras have greater working distances than smaller pixel size ones with the same real focal length and F#?

Camera quality is crucial;  an HD camera with a pixel size of 4.6um using a 1000mm lens can detect humans up to approximately 13km. 

If the lens quality isn't improved, higher resolution and smaller pixel sizes (e.g., an 8MP camera core at 2um) will still yield similar effective working distances.

3. Why might a 2MP camera produce better images than some higher resolution cameras (8MP or even 8K)?

A well-designed camera that no chromatic aberration produces clearer and sharper images with consistent high color saturation across all areas, including edges in telephoto shots.

4. Why are many CCTV surveillance cameras with focal lengths of 750mm/1000mm/1200mm only effective for laser rangefinding up to 3km-5km?

This limitation arises from misalignment between the optical axis and the target; even minor deviations can result in significant errors at longer distances (e.g., a 2 mrad accuracy leads to a 6m deviation at 3000m).

Consequently, these cameras str le to accurately capture vehicles beyond this range, so their laser rangefinder task is only roughly measurement.

Thus, claimed accuracies like 10km~40km LRF of 0.1m, 1m, or 10m lack meaningful real-world relevance.

5.  Why is the price of the 2MP camera much higher than that of a normal CCTV camera?

The 2MP camera features coaxial zoom, no chromatic aberration, rapid auto-focus, superior defogging, wide spectrum capabilities, shock resistance, compact size, and an ultra-long lifespan.

Its image quality can compete with some SLR cameras.

When considering price factors such as image quality x distance x accuracy, you'll find our pricing is very competitive.
