This camera with the wide-angle lens was sold as the WALRSS (Wide-Area Long Range Surveillance Sensor) until the development of the WALRSS HD with a 1280x1024 sensor.

What an awesome camera :) - I believe the pump is a stirling pump - that would correspond with the noise it makes.
Gem of a video. Thank you!

An impressive camera! Did you scrapped it?
What did these units cost new? how do they compare with a newer device, such as a SPI M7>
