First offered only for SONY's FCB-H11 HD industrial camera, the popular housing kit included the Sony FCBH11 camera, a black steel housing, custom cabling and an interface board with choice of HD or HDSDI outputs.  Due to the overwhelming success of this kit, housing kits are now available for the entire line of Sony’s seventeen (17) SD block cameras including the popular FCB-IX11A, FCB-EX480 and the FCB-EX20D to name just a few.

Inside their robust housings, these cameras can be added to military vehicles including helicopters, Humvees, tanks, jets, aircraft carriers, submarines, etc.  Commercially these can be used for pick and place machines, quality control/inspection, broadcasting (reality television, movies, news, etc.), surveillance (traffic, warehouse, checkpoints, etc.), pipe inspections, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and more.

What's great about these industrial camera kits? To just name a few,  not only do they instantly simplify the integration process of a really great camera that already has the added benefit of being equipped with zoom functions (eliminating the need for an additional lens), but they do so in a small form factor size which is extremely important when space is limited.  Whether an application calls for flying leads,  cabling with connectors or back panel mount connectors, the multitude of configurations available for these kits suddenly opens up many more application opportunities for these cameras because engineers and end users are no longer left with trying to solder connectors on to the system, it now comes that way making them one step closer to “plug and play”.

USB 2.0 is still one of the most popular and well-known interfaces used throughout the world, and now that is available in a kit, block cameras have become that much more accessable to those not familiar with or not interested in trying to solder flying leads or integrate the interface board themselves.
