What are the benefits of using a USB interface camera?
USB cameras offer integration with minimal effort and, in some cases, can offer UVC-compliance, which enables plug-and-play. The bandwidth of USB can achieve 5Gbps (depending on whether you are using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) and can reach a range of up to 7 metres with passive cables. However, you can use an active optic cable to facilitate a longer cable distance of up to 100m, which may require an external power source (Active optic cables, in most cases, are at a higher price point and may not provide power to the end device).
What are the 37U series board-level cameras?
The 37 Series board-level cameras from The Imaging Source offer a wide selection of sensor options, making them highly suitable for various markets and applications. These cameras are compliant with USB3 Vision standards and offer sensor resolutions ranging from 0.4 MP to an impressive 20 MP. Developers will find the versatile trigger and I/O options particularly useful, along with the high dynamic range and exceptional colour reproduction that result in high-contrast images.
What are board-level cameras?
Board-level cameras, also referred to as board cameras or PCB cameras, are compact imaging devices specifically designed for integration into electronic systems and applications. Unlike traditional cameras that come with separate housings, board-level cameras are typically mounted directly onto a circuit board. These cameras are extensively utilised across diverse industries and applications where space is limited, and a compact form factor is indispensable.

FAQ's & Further Information
How do I choose the right camera for my application?
Choosing the right camera involves evaluating several key factors, including the size and speed of the object being inspected, the required resolution, the field of view, and environmental conditions such as lighting and vibration. Understanding these parameters ensures that the selected camera can reliably capture the necessary image data for accurate inspection or measurement.
Do I need a rolling shutter or a global shutter camera?
The choice between a rolling shutter and a global shutter depends on your application, particularly the speed of motion you need to capture and the level of image accuracy required.
A rolling shutter sensor captures an image line-by-line. This makes it a cost-effective option and perfectly suitable for many general-purpose vision tasks where objects are relatively static or moving slowly. However, when imaging fast-moving objects or scenes with rapid changes, rolling shutter can introduce distortion (such as skewing or “jello” effects).
A global shutter sensor, on the other hand, captures the entire image at the same instant. This eliminates motion distortion and ensures accurate image capture, making it ideal for high-speed applications such as industrial automation, robotics, and inspection systems.
