FAQ
1.What’s the difference between sapphire dome and BK7 dome?
Sapphire is ultra-hard, waterproof and pressure-resistant for harsh outdoor/underwater scenes; BK7 is cost-effective for indoor visible surveillance.
2.Can you produce large sapphire optical dome?
Yes, custom diameter from 10mm to 600mm, support oversized surveillance camera sapphire cover.
3.What’s the function of AR coated optical dome?
AR coating reduces surface light reflection, improves transmittance for visible and thermal imaging equipment.
4..Is the dome waterproof and pressure resistant?
Our waterproof pressure-resistant dome adopts thick-wall substrate + sealed edge design, fit for underwater and high-humidity scenarios.
5.Do you offer custom coating and curvature?
We customize dome curvature, thickness and AR coating for visible light and infrared thermal systems.
6.Can I get prototype samples for testing?
Yes, MOQ 1 piece for surveillance camera project qualification test.
