DS-CAM-600

The

is a high-speed Gigabit-Ethernet camera with following key data:

600fps @ VGA (640x480)
Full HD resolution 1920x1080
Real-time data streaming with full resolution
Monochrome
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Real-time JPEG compression
Sync (Triggered and free-run mode)
Adjustable shutter time
Standard C-Mount
Small compact form factor
Ruggedized (high-shock and vibration resistant, aluminum housing)

The camera supports the high-performance industrial standard GigE Vision. The standard introduced in 2006 provides a framework
for transmitting high-speed video and related control over Ethernet networks.

The benefits are: high-speed data transfer rates up to 1GBit/s (based on 1000Base-T) connectible to every standard GigE Ethernet
port and cable lengths up to 100m.

Dewesoft uses OptoMotive GigE SDK for communication with cameras that support the GigE Vision standard.

Important: For best performance, we recommend using a Core i5 CPU or better, 4 GB RAM, and SSD for storing data.

System requirements

1 Gigabit-Ethernet port
Good PC performance (Core i5 CPU or better recommended, 4 GB RAM)

OptoMotive GigE Vision SDK
Dewesoft GigE driver (cdv) 2.0
