What is an industrial smart camera?

  An industrial smart camera is not a simple camera, but a highly integrated micro machine vision system. It integrates image acquisition, processing and communication functions into a single camera, thereby providing a multi-functional, modular, highly reliable and easy-to-implement machine vision solution. 

Industrial smart cameras are generally composed of image acquisition units, image processing units, image processing software, network communication devices, etc. Due to the application of new DSP, FPGA and large-capacity storage technologies, its level of intelligence continues to increase, and it can meet the application needs of a variety of machine vision. And it is widely used in electronic equipment, printing machinery, textile machinery, CNC machine tools, laser processing, precision measurement, packaging equipment, medical equipment inspection and other fields.

Industrial smart camera product features:

1. Compact structure, high integration, stable performance, low failure rate, and computing power equivalent to that of a PC. 

2. The working process can be completely separated from the PC and can be easily connected to other equipment on the production line. 

3. Can directly output SVGA or SXGA video images on a display or monitor. 

4. Provide a basic image processing library and enable secondary development at the source code level. 

5. Adjustable gain, controllable electronic shutter, global exposure, and shutter time can be set by software. 

6. Exposure time and exposure moment can be precisely controlled externally. 

7. Support external trigger and external flash interface. 

8. Comes with multiple digital I/O, 100MB Ethernet, and RS232 interfaces.
