FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IREO CAM&SYS Launches Quantum Gas LiDAR-Led Leak Detection Line and ULH-100M Aerial Scanning Camera for Long-Range Detection and Surveillance
Two new product lines bring single-photon quantum LiDAR gas leak quantification and ultra-high-resolution aerial detection and long-range surveillance to industrial, energy and security customers.
A Complete Gas Leak Detection Portfolio, Led by Quantum LiDAR
The new line spans four products addressing both modes of gas leak detection operators need: continuous unattended monitoring and operator-led inspection.
The flagship is the GL-Q500 Photon Quantum Gas LiDAR, a fixed-mount sensor that combines tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), differential absorption LiDAR (DIAL) and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) to detect, localize and quantify methane emissions autonomously, 24 hours a day. A single-photon avalanche detector, combined with time-of-flight ranging, lets the system build a live 3D map of a gas plume and convert it, together with wind data, into an estimated emission rate rather than just an image. The system is rated for a detection range of 500 meters, a minimum detectable leak of under 10 g/hr, and a 30-second response time.
Alongside the LiDAR, we are releasing three optical gas imaging (OGI) products for visual leak screening: the GL10 Series, a family of explosion-proof, fixed-mount PTZ infrared cameras covering 20 meters to 3 kilometers across five lens variants; the GL10AE, a cooled-infrared payload for UAV-based aerial pipeline and facility inspection; and a portable handheld thermal imager for rapid, non-contact walk-around inspection.
Together, the four products let customers combine continuous monitoring with the fast operator-led survey work that OGI cameras are built for - a pairing an increasing number of operators are adopting to support regulatory and ESG reporting requirements.

ULH-100M: 100-Megapixel Aerial Scanning for Long-Range Detection and Surveillance
The ULH-100M is a high-end imaging payload built for industrial-grade surveillance drones, designed for wide-area aerial scanning, target detection and long-range surveillance in a single flight - closing a long-standing gap in aerial inspection where operators had to choose between a wide field of view and kilometer-range detail.
The camera pairs a 210 mm fixed lens (F2.1, clear aperture ≥100 mm, variable iris to F16, 10° × 10° field of view) with a silicon-based wide-spectrum sensor delivering 61-megapixel native resolution (9568 × 6380, 3.76 µm pixel size) and a 100-megapixel image output via on-board AI super-resolution. Built-in AI algorithms perform airborne drone detection and behavior analysis, turning a wide-area scan into an active alerting tool rather than passive footage. Full-resolution capture runs at up to 17.9 fps over a 10GigE interface.
Because scanning and surveillance work has to continue in the conditions that defeat ordinary cameras, the ULH-100M offers 24-hour high-definition monochrome night vision, with a minimum illumination of 0.001 lux under extended-exposure settings, and maintains clear imaging at dust concentrations of 500 mg/m³ or higher. Its extended spectral response - 450–1000 nm measured, with sensitivity extending toward 1200 nm - supports imaging through dust and haze where visible-only cameras lose contrast. A self-cleaning housing resists dust adhesion and frost buildup, an intelligent anti-glare mode keeps imagery stable under harsh or mixed lighting, and the unit is rated for −40 °C to +70 °C operation at a weight of under 14 kg.
IREO CAM&SYS is positioning the ULH-100M for wide-area industrial and infrastructure scanning of mines, quarries, chemical plants, power and oil & gas infrastructure, highways, railways, ports and major construction sites, water conservancy and cold-chain facilities, alongside long-range detection and surveillance missions including perimeter and coastline monitoring, forest fire detection, urban high-altitude security and airborne drone detection.
Executive Comment
"Customers have been asking us for two things: a way to put a real, defensible number on a gas leak instead of just a picture of one, and an aerial camera that doesn't force a choice between wide-area scanning and long-range detection detail. These two launches answer both," said Andrew, Founder and General Sales Manager of IREO CAM&SYS.
