Live Surveillance with uEye: A Comprehensive, Single-Device Approach for Real-Time Monitoring
The uEye Live camera series, developed by IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, is transforming the way industrial processes are visualized and monitored. These compact cameras, available in housed (uEye SCP) and board-level (uEye SLE) versions, are designed for robust performance in industrial environments.
The uEye Live cameras are equipped with an integrated Sony IMX678 sensor, featuring STARVIS 2 technology, which delivers high resolution, light sensitivity, and a wide dynamic range. This makes them ideal for documenting tests, experiments, or long-term observations in research and development, as well as for monitoring robotic workspaces and recording incidents.
The series' cameras leverage cutting-edge SoC technology, intuitive operation, and versatile applications to revolutionize visual process monitoring. They are particularly suited for use as industrial dashcams, providing a quick and easy camera solution for visualizing machine processes.
The uEye Live cameras are capable of storing video sequences locally in their persistent memory, triggered by software commands or hardware signals. This feature is particularly useful for 24/7 monitoring and visualization of industrial processes.
One of the standout features of the uEye Live series is its ability to transmit up to three parallel video streams directly to multiple recipients. This makes it possible to monitor and stream industrial processes in real-time, with options for RTSP with H.264 compression or HTTP in MJPEG format.
The series also allows event-based recording of video sequences directly to the camera's internal memory. This ensures continuous or event-triggered visual inspection of machines and production lines, whether locally or remotely.
IDS's uEye Live cameras excel in terms of quality, spare parts procurement, long-term availability, and standardized interfaces. They are available in both industrial standard housing and as board-level cameras for seamless integration into other devices.
Moreover, the series' cameras have an on-board Image Signal Processor (ISP) that automatically corrects exposure, white balance, noise, and defective pixels. This ensures consistently high-quality images, even in challenging industrial environments.
The uEye Live series is not just a tool for monitoring industrial processes; it is also a valuable asset for (AI-based) image analysis for automated and optimized inspection workflows. Its powerful Ambarella SoC is capable of real-time image processing, filtering, and analysis, making it an ideal choice for industries that require precise and efficient visual inspection.
In conclusion, the uEye Live camera series by IDS is a game-changer in industrial visual process monitoring. Its compact size, robust design, versatile applications, and advanced technology make it an essential tool for industries seeking to streamline their processes and improve efficiency.
