Monochrome Industrial Camera

A monochrome camera, also known as a black and white camera, delivers benefits across numerous applications. While color cameras dominate sectors like security and telecommunications, industrial environments often prefer monochrome models. These cameras offer higher sensitivity to light, produce sharper images, and reduce data volume compared to color cameras. This makes them particularly suitable for image processing tasks. By choosing the appropriate lighting wavelength and lens filters, specific product features can be emphasized, enabling the capture of high-resolution, high-contrast images with monochrome cameras.

PoE Industrial vision camera

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology for GigE cameras enables simultaneous transmission of power and data through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies wiring and shortens installation time in setups where hardware triggering or I/O is not necessary. For applications requiring I/O, powering the camera via an I/O connector is recommended. Cameras powered by PoE consume more energy and generate additional heat compared to those powered through I/O connectors. PoE-enabled GigE cameras are physically larger due to an extra PCB that isolates power from the Ethernet signal and converts voltage levels. This additional hardware increases cost relative to non-PoE models. The primary advantage of PoE is the ease of installation, as fewer cables are needed.
