ICAM supply a range of digital camera units to suit the very demanding standards required for the true full colour capture of documents. We have learnt from experience that digital camera specifications can be, and often are, confusing. Our policy has always been to test the cameras in operation and not rely on claimed performance.
We have ascertained that at present the best cameras for use in archives are from and Betterlight. We have designed mounts for the GUARDIAN and the CONGRESS cameras.

In keeping with our policy, the digital cameras can also be retrofitted to existing camera bases by the addition of a mount and suitable lighting. The maximum size of the original document and/or the speed and file size determine the appropriate camera and base. The modular GUARDIAN can be designed to meet most requirements and the ATLAS has been used for the capture of Tithe maps up to 4 Mtrs.
