Meet the PiCams
Using our carefully designed methodology we strip the bayer layer from mobile phone sized cameras designed for the Raspberry Pi micro-computing system. The bayer layer is used to filter colours in the visible wavelengths of light, preventing much of the ultraviolet wavelengths from reaching the sensor. By removing the bayer layer we increase the sensitivity of these sensors to ultraviolet light. We have focused our approach to the measurement of volcanic gases, taking advantage of absorption features in ultraviolet wavelengths of light between 300 and 330 nm for a common volcanic gas sulphur dioxide. We have designed a suite of ultraviolet cameras for this specific purpose building on a set scientific methodology.
PiCams
-
PiCam Permanent
Versatile - Our original PiCam, housed in a sturdy peli-case.
-
PiCam Mini
Compact - A smaller, more portable PiCam which runs on mobile phone batteries.
Other Products
-
Debayed Sensor
We offer the option to purchase only the debayed sensor we use in our PiCams. This option might work best if you are interested in designing your own custom device for other applications.

Bespoke Requests
We know that our PiCam technology has wide reaching possibilities and applications beyond volcanic monitoring and we want to be a part of it. If you are interested in creating a bespoke system for a unique scenario, we would love to help!
