The Leading Manufacturer
of High End Visualizers

Please note:

This page is just a service for WolfVision customers, who don't know where to buy certain accessories for our Visualizers and cameras. Of course this is not a complete list of all products on the market and we can not guarantee that all products of these manufacturers work well with our units.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapters
(for EYE-12)

There is a large number of manufacturers of PoE-adapters (for example: HP, Cisco, Zyxel, Netgear, Linksys, Axis, ARP and many more). Products reach from a simple adapter for one camera (approx. Euro 40.-) to large and expensive switches with PoE.

When selecting a PoE-adapter for the EYE-12 it is very important that the adapter complies to the IEEE 802.3af industry standard. Because before this standard was launched in 2003, many incompatible PoE-systems were on the market and some of these units with different PoE standards do not work with the EYE-12.

The "power classification" of the EYE-12 is "Class 0 (0.44 to 12.95 Watts)", The switch mode power supply of the EYE-12 can convert direct current power from 36 and 57 volt to 12 volt (as required by the camera).

Microscope Adapters
(for EYE-10 and EYE-12)

Use a microscope adapter to attach the EYE-10 or EYE-12 to a microscope.
The Austrian company MICRO-TECH-LAB and the US-company Microscopeworld sell microscope adapters.

Infrared Cut-off Filter
(for EYE-10 and EYE-12)

Infrared transmitters are often used for transmitting audio, data or control signals. The human eye can not see the infrared light, but a digital camera, like the EYE cameras, can see it. When shooting an infrared transmitter with a digital camera, a red color noise is visible. Infrared cut-off filters make the infrared light invisible for the camera and improve the color saturation in environments with strong infrared light.

Various manufacturers of digital camera accessories offer infrared filters. WolfVision tested a filter from the German manufacturer Heliopan:

Infrared cut-off filter "Digitalfilter 46 x 0.75" from Heliopan (German product page)
Heliophan filters (English Product Line brochure)
Price: approx. Euro 60.-

Ceiling/Wall Mounts
(for EYE-10 and EYE-12)

WolfVision's EYE cameras have two 1/4-20 UNC tripod mounts. This is a worldwide standard which can also be found on every video- or surveillance camera. As a result there is a huge selection of tripods, ceiling- and wall mounts which can be used for the EYE cameras. Some manufacturers: Link to company Pelco (USA) Link to company Hermann Mechatronik (German only)

RGB to USB Adapter (Frame Grabber)
(for EYE-10)

WolfVision's camera EYE-10 does not have a USB-port. However a third party RGB (VGA) to USB adapter can convert the image from the EYE-10 to USB. In this way e.g. still images and little live videos from the EYE-10 can be stored on a computer. Controlling the camera over USB is not possible with a RGB to USB adapter.

Only a few manufacturers supply such units. The latest version of WolfVision's USB-software supports the RGB to USB adapter from Epiphan. The Epiphan RGB to USB adapter can be ordered online here:

"VGA2USB" adapter from Epiphan
Price: approx. Euro 250.- / US-$ 300,-

Extenders (RGB Signal over Twisted Pair / LAN Cables)
(for all Visualizers and Cameras)

Cat 5, Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables can be found everywhere in today's buildings because they are required for the computer networks and telephones. These cables can also be used to transmit an RGB signal (e.g. transmitting the image from the Visualizer to a projector). A "Transmitter" and a "Receiver" is required.

These products are available from various manufacturers. WolfVision tested the following Extron units:

VGA Twisted Pair Transmitter from Extron
Price: approx. Euro 230.-

VGA Twisted Pair Receiver from Extron
Price: approx. Euro 250.-
