Resumen:
This article present the basic principles and characteristics of the very wide field cameras VWF-2 installed in MASTER-ICATE. The cameras, mount and roof enclosure could be remotely operated or followautomatically a specific survey. The instruments have been designed tostudy the optical prompt emission of GRB events (gamma-ray bursts)and to survey the sky for the detection unknown objects and optical transients (OTs). This project is supported by several institutions in Russia (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Sternberg Astronomical Institute) and Argentina (ICATE-CONICET, OAFA, UNSJ).
