Abstract

A camera device comprises a first detector having opto-electronic sensors for enabling an entire image to be input simultaneously, and associated with an optical system of long focal length. A second detector is associated with an optical system that gives a large field of view, covering the field of the first detector and extending beyond it. The camera device also includes means for synchronizing the images taken by the two detectors and for recording them.
