The Ukrainian company Odd Systems has introduced a new tactical camera ‘Svitlich-662’, capable of providing clear full-color images even in low-light conditions. The device is designed for integration into unmanned aerial vehicles, ground robotic complexes, and stationary observation points, opening up wide possibilities for application in defense and monitoring sectors.

Technical Specifications and Features of ‘Svitlich-662’
‘Svitlich-662’ is based on a modern sensor that supports a resolution of 1920×1080 and ensures minimal signal delay. Thanks to the MIPI CSI-2 interface, the camera connects directly to single-board computers, including Raspberry Pi, which allows for faster video processing and avoids motion blur during recognition algorithm operations. The device fully supports operation with ready-made drivers, ensuring stability and ease of implementation in various computer vision systems.
Odd Systems engineers note that the camera has a ‘twilight vision’ effect — it can produce high-quality Full HD images even under minimal lighting. Users can change lenses, choose different types of housings, and connection options to adapt to specific tasks. Signal transmission is carried out through a coaxial cable, which reduces the level of interference, while the reinforced housing of the device ensures reliability in field conditions. Additionally, the company provides engineering support for integrating the camera into a wide variety of systems.
Name, Development History, and Prospects for Use
The name ‘Svitlich’ is chosen in honor of Ivan Svitlichny, a prominent figure and ideologist of the Ukrainian national-democratic movement of the 1960s-70s, a literary critic, poet, and translator. Odd Systems, together with The Fourth Law company, is part of a vertically integrated group that develops solutions in the field of artificial intelligence and optical systems, including thermal and day cameras. Both companies were founded in Kyiv in 2023 by Yaroslav Azhniuk and are already operating in the markets of Ukraine, the European Union, and the USA.
Due to the versatility and adaptability of ‘Svitlich-662’, it can be used in various fields, including defense, monitoring, and robotics. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for robotic complexes for the Defense Forces, which, according to experts, is driven by the needs of the front.
“… this is a mass digital camera for the front, adapted to military requirements, ready for serial production and application. Our key task is to create optical systems that help the military effectively carry out various missions, including intercepting aerial targets,” said the company’s CEO Roman Medvedev.
