abstract = {The SST-1M is a Small-Sized Telescope (SST) designed to
provide a cost-effective and high-performance solution for
gamma-ray astrophysics, particularly for energies beyond a
few TeV. The goal is to integrate this telescope into an
array of similar instruments, leveraging its lightweight
design, earthquake resistance, and established Davies-Cotton
configuration. Additionally, its optical system is designed
to function without a protective dome, allowing it to
withstand the harsh atmospheric conditions typical of
mountain environments above 2000 m. The SST-1M utilizes a
fully digitizing camera system based on silicon
photomultipliers (SiPMs). This camera is capable of
digitizing all signals from the UV-optical light detectors,
allowing for the implementation of various triggers and data
analysis methods. We detail the process of designing,
prototyping, and validating this system, ensuring that it
meets the stringent requirements for gamma-ray detection and
performance. An SST-1M stereo system is currently
operational and collecting data at the Ondřejov observatory
in the Czech Republic, situated at 500 m. Preliminary
results from this system are promising. A forthcoming paper
will provide a comprehensive analysis of the performance of
the telescopes in detecting gamma rays and operating under
real-world conditions.},
