HV TECHNOLOGIES, Inc. is proud to be partnered with PONTIS EMC offering the highest quality EMC hardened cameras, audio systems and fiber-optic converters. These systems are used for optical and acoustic monitoring of devices under test (DUT) as well as interference-free data transmission of various types of signals.
EMC shielded housing, specially filtered power supplies and signal transmission via fiber optics are common to all our products. For that reason the emissions are way below the standard limits and the immunity above the usual requirements. Only the highest quality components find the way into our products. This ensures that the mechanical and even more important, the optical features, of all camera systems are outstanding. The quality of the lens and the CCD chip in the camera module are crucial for a good surveillance system. Where suitable we use Pentax® lenses and 1/3″ CCD cameras to gain the best possible resolution and light sensitivity.
PONTIS EMC products come with a standard 2 year factory warranty covered by HV TECHNOLOGIES in North America. Field proven quality and extremely low defect rates result from consequent quality management and intensive testing.

EMC Hardened Video and Audio Systems
When performing EMC emissions testing, monitoring the device under test (DUT) without interfering with the measurement is important. During EMC immunity testing, the monitoring system has to withstand the high field strengths generated during testing.
All devices containing electronic components—from a small electric shaver to automobiles—are subject to EMC compliance testing. PONTIS EMC hardened audio and video products cover a wide range of applications including:
Small pre-compliance EMC/ EMI test chambers, including GTEM cells
Large Automotive and Military/Aerospace/Avionics test sites
High-Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) testing
N(EMP) testing
Specialized/Difficult light applications (monitoring temperature-critical components/ batteries, displays or lights in a car’s dashboard)
High-Voltage Direct Current stations (HVDC), including converter halls
HD Cameras
Modern mobile devices, PCs, and TVs utilize displays with very high resolution. In this case, analog video may not offer enough resolution. The HDCam6 and HDCam7 cameras offer full-HD, uncompressed format (HD-SDI) with resolutions up to 1920*1080 pixels from sensor to display. In order to control and handle the massive data streams, these HD cameras need to be connected to HD controllers. We can configure these controllers to drive up to 4 cameras, including audio interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are fiber optic links mandatory for data transmission in EMC hardened cameras?
Copper cables act as unintended antennas, either radiating RF energy into an emissions test setup or picking up high-field electromagnetic energy during immunity testing, which distorts both the video signal and the test environment. By utilizing specialized fiber optic data communication (such as the ONVIF-compliant IP systems or uncompressed HD-SDI streams), PONTIS EMC systems achieve complete electrical isolation. Fiber optics prevent external electromagnetic noise from entering or escaping the camera housing, preserving absolute signal integrity.
How do shielded housings and filtered power supplies contribute to maintaining low emissions and high immunity?
Effective EMC monitoring requires that the test equipment itself remains virtually invisible inside the chamber. HV Technologies’ cameras feature specialized EMC-shielded housings combined with intensively filtered power supplies. This dual-layer protection ensures that any minor high-frequency emissions generated by internal camera processors are fully contained, driving ambient emissions well below stringent baseline limits while simultaneously providing an immunity barrier against external fields.
Which aerospace and aviation standards do HV Technologies' HIRF-hardened cameras comply with?
For high-intensity radiated field testing, the HDCam7HIRF is engineered to meet severe aerospace criteria. It is certified compliant with RTCA-DO-160, Category G (handling field strengths of up to 3,000 V/m, Pulse Modulated) and Category Q (withstanding 1,000 V/m up to 18 GHz, Pulse Modulated). This compliance makes it an authoritative solution for monitoring avionics and military aerospace subsystems under extreme electromagnetic conditions.
Can these camera systems be deployed in environments vulnerable to Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulses (NEMP)?
Yes. The specialized (N)EMPCam is purpose-built to survive and operate continuously through short pulse (E1) and intermediate pulse (E2) high-altitude electromagnetic disturbances. It complies directly with the MIL-STD-188-125-1 Department of Defense Interface Standard, which regulates high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) protection for ground-based C4I facilities performing critical, time-urgent missions.
What automotive standards do the HDCam series cameras satisfy?
The HDCam line (including the HDCam75, HDCam6ECP, and HDCam5) is optimized for automotive components and full-vehicle testing. They adhere strictly to:
- Emissions: CISPR 25 Class 5 (with select models achieving Class 5 -20dB or -10dB), ensuring the camera does not interfere with ultra-sensitive automotive receiver measurements.
- Immunity: ISO 11452-1/-2/-5, proving resilient against field strengths of 200 V/m up to 18 GHz.
What unique challenges do High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) stations present, and how are they addressed?
Standard thermal imaging equipment fails under harsh RF exposure. The IRThermo6 IR Thermal Camera is explicitly designed to observe temperature-critical zones (such as Device Under Test batteries, displays, or chamber RF absorbers) in extreme electromagnetic environments. It operates across a spectral range of 8 to 14 μm, covers temperatures from 0°C to 300°C (expandable to 1,000°C), and maintains complete EMC compliance up to 200 V/m at 18 GHz with options supporting up to 1,000 V/m.
How do network-controlled IP cameras maintain cybersecurity in sensitive military or government testing sites?
Networked models like the IPCam72 balance high-definition streaming with rigorous defense-in-depth security architecture. They support secure transport layers and authentication protocols including HTTPS (SSL/TLS), 802.1X Authentication (EAP-TLS, EAP-LEAP), Digest Login Authentication, and IP Address Filtering. This ensures that video streams routed across local networks or recorded via PECOS software remain completely secure from unauthorized intercept.
