VA Imaging VEN-301-125U3M-FPC 1/1.8" Monochrome CMOS (Sony IMX 252) Boardlevel Camera, 3 Megapixels, 2048 x 1536, 125 fps, Global Shutter, C-Mount, FPC Connector, USB 3.0 Output

IMX252 USB3 Vision OEM Camera

The Venus USB3.0 FPC camera lineup features an industrial boardlevel camera equipped with a USB3.0 interface. It incorporates a unique FPC connector that minimizes the footprint compared to a conventional USB3.0 connector, resulting in a more compact design that simplifies integration into various devices. Included is a small PCB adapter converting the FPC connector to a USB3 Micro B port, facilitating straightforward testing of the camera. This adapter can be detached to conserve space. USB3.0 provides an ideal interface for cameras requiring high resolution and rapid frame rates. Additionally, this interface is well suited for embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi (version 4 and above) and NVIDIA platforms.

This camera model is particularly suitable if your application meets the following criteria:
- Requires an ultra-compact camera (dimensions: 29x29x33.3mm) with a minimalistic connection interface
- Offers FPC cable length options of 100, 200, or 500mm
- Utilizes a single cable for device connection
- Compatible with PCs and embedded architectures: ARM V7 & ARM V8
- Supports hardware triggering

Monochrome Camera

A monochrome, or black and white, camera provides distinct benefits across multiple applications. While color cameras dominate sectors like security and telecommunications, industrial environments often prefer monochrome cameras for their enhanced light sensitivity, superior image sharpness, and reduced data volume compared to color imaging. These characteristics make monochrome cameras well suited for image processing tasks. By choosing the appropriate lighting wavelength and lens filtration, specific product features can be emphasized, enabling the capture of high-contrast, high-resolution images using monochrome cameras.
