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 CS series cameras?

The CS series is a range of USB 3.0 and GigE industrial cameras manufactured by HIKROBOT. They utilise advanced high performance CMOS sensors, such as STARVIS and Pregius from Sony. The new second generation CS series industrial cameras come with outstanding image sensors, a wide dynamic range, a favourable signal-to-noise ratio, exceptional image quality, an efficient power consumption design, compatibility with machine vision standard protocols and GenlCam standards, and effortless integration with third-party software. They are equipped with a range of intricate algorithms and features, including lossless compression, 2D noise reduction, lens shading correction, CCM, and more. These enhancements work together to enhance the overall image quality of the camera, ensuring a higher frame rate and superior quality in all aspects.
