SMO 4-axis motorized surgical field camera installed in an operating room

SM-SC4K-H · Motorized surgical field camera

4K. Four axes.
Zero contact.

Recover the surgical view remotely—even when the surgeon, staff or equipment blocks the camera—without reaching into the sterile field.

A practical clinical advantage

Change the camera angle.
Not the procedure.

Traditional manual field cameras require somebody to approach and physically reposition the unit. Three-axis systems improve movement, but can still leave a compromised angle when the line of sight is blocked. SM-SC4K-H adds a fourth motorized axis, giving the operator more freedom to restore the view from outside the sterile field.

One remote. Complete positioning.

Four independent motorized movements.

Fine positioning is handled remotely. When a clinician moves, a monitor arm changes position, or the camera loses the working area, the view can be corrected without interrupting the surgical team.

  • View recovery after obstructionMove around heads, shoulders and suspended equipment.
  • Controlled, repeatable movementMake small directional corrections from a safe operating position.
4-axis surgical field camera integrated with ceiling systems in a hybrid operating roomDSA / HYBRID OR

Designed for complex rooms

Remote vision for the Hybrid OR.

Hybrid and interventional rooms combine imaging, suspended equipment and multiple clinical teams in a tightly coordinated space. The camera can be operated from more than five metres away, supporting clear surgical documentation while helping staff avoid unnecessary approaches to the imaging zone.

01

Operate at a distance

Reframe the view without standing beside the patient or X-ray system.

02

Protect sterile workflow

Fewer physical adjustments mean fewer avoidable touch points.

03

Fit the ceiling ecosystem

Coordinate the camera with lights, displays and imaging equipment.

Why the fourth axis matters

More freedom when the first view is no longer the right view.

Clinical-grade visual detail

4K clarity that stays useful under surgical light.

A Sony Exmor R sensor, 20× optical zoom and dedicated exposure modes help capture a clean overview or move closer to the surgical field—supporting teaching, recording, consultation and procedure review.

Frequently asked questions

Planning a Hybrid OR, DSA room or surgical suite?

Why use four motorized axes?

The additional motorized freedom gives the operator more positioning options when the original view is blocked or the camera must move around clinicians and suspended equipment.

Can it be controlled outside the radiation zone?

The supplied 2.4 GHz controller supports remote operation at more than five metres in suitable conditions, helping teams avoid unnecessary approaches during imaging procedures. Local radiation-safety protocols always apply.

Can it connect to a recorder or OR video system?

Yes. The camera provides HDMI-A video output and RS-485 / Sony VISCA control. We can review compatibility with your recorder, monitor or integration system.

Can the mount be adapted to our ceiling arm?

Yes. Ondal and Dräger options are available, and project-specific mechanical interfaces can be evaluated from drawings or measurements.
