The MS-510 is an advanced long-range low-light camera from Canon, which was developed for viewing remote objects at distance of several miles in color – day or night. It is equipped with the ultra-high-sensitivity Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) sensor and the B4 mount that can support Canon broadcast lenses, enabling capture of long-range objects even in low light.

The MS-510 camera’s SPAD sensor captures the brightness of a subject by digitally counting each incoming light particle (photon) through a method called photon counting, which is completely different from the conventional CMOS sensor.
The MS-510 camera is equipped with an Ethernet port that can be used to remotely control the camera, the lens and the pan-tilt head control using NU, Pelco-DTM or ONVIFTM and access its video output over IP.
Serial communication is also available. Remote operation allows for more subtle manipulations and fine adjustments when shooting at a long distance with an ultra-telephoto lens with a very narrow angle of view, rather than operating directly with a camera button or lens ring.

Featuring Broadcast Industry standard B4 mount, the SPAD sensor is able to take advantage of Canon’s extensive lineup of broadcast lenses. Since most broadcast lens optics are designed for 2/3” sensors, the camera has a built-in magnifying optical system that matches the built-in 1-inch sensor, allowing the lens to be attached directly to the camera mount for shooting without cropping the sensor pixels.
