MOHOC

MOHOC (Military Observation High-Output Camera) is the American manufacturer specializing in ultra-low-profile helmet cameras for special forces. The MOHOC Elite camera is the thinnest on the market at 22 mm profile above the helmet, designed to avoid interfering with night vision goggle coupling, shooting stance, or mobility in jungle or confined space environments. The design emerged from requirements of US special operations forces operators who needed first-person visual capture without the bulk or tactical signature of GoPro or similar cameras.

The MOHOC Elite records in 1080p HD at 30 fps with H.264 on micro SD up to 256 GB. The 940 nm IR illumination — invisible to the human eye and to Gen 2 light intensifiers — enables recording in night vision environments synchronized with AN-PVS-14 and NYX systems without saturating the tube or revealing position. The IP67 + MIL-STD-810G construction guarantees operation under heavy rain, accidental immersion to 1 m, and vehicle vibration without image degradation. MOLLE clip mounting is compatible with all standard tactical helmets (MICH, ACH, FAST), motorcycle helmets, and climbing gear.

The tactical advantage over commercial cameras rests on three factors. First, the ultra-low profile doesn't modify the helmet's center of gravity or operator balance — critical in breaching or rappel operations. Second, the absence of visible IR emission enables recording in night vision scenarios without creating an IR reference point detectable by adversaries with low-generation NV devices. Third, the autonomous recording system — no app, no connectivity, no transmission latency — works in RF-dead zones and eliminates the risk of real-time data interception.
