Key Features
- 25 TOPS on-device inference for real-time quality inspection, object detection, and classification
- Multiple lens mount options -- C-Mount, CS-Mount, and M12 -- to suit a wide range of industrial optics
- IP67-rated enclosure for harsh environments (dust, water jets, washdowns); IP20 variant available for clean indoor installations
- Dual connectivity -- USB-C for development and local integration; PoE for single-cable deployment with power and Ethernet
- Runs a full Linux stack with DRP-AI3 and DeepX M1 accelerator support
Enclosure Variants
| Variant | Ingress Protection | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| IP67 | Dust-tight, water jet proof | Factory floors, outdoor, washdown areas |
| IP20 | Finger-safe | Clean rooms, indoor inspection stations |
Lens Compatibility
The camera accepts standard industrial lenses via three interchangeable mount options:
- C-Mount -- 1" flange distance, widely used in machine vision
- CS-Mount -- 12.5 mm flange distance, compact form factor
- M12 -- Board-level mount for miniaturized lens assemblies
Connectivity
USB-C
The USB-C port provides:
- High-speed data transfer for model deployment and log retrieval
- 5V power input for bench-top development
- Serial console access for debugging
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE support enables single-cable deployment:
- IEEE 802.3af/at compliant
- Power and Gigabit Ethernet over a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable
- Ideal for distributed camera networks in factory settings
Software
The Industrial Camera runs the same Linux BSP and AI toolchain as the E1M-X V2N-M1 module. Pre-built application images are available for common use cases:
Getting Started
- Mount the camera and attach a compatible lens.
- Connect via USB-C (development) or PoE (deployment).
- Access the camera's web interface or SSH terminal.
- Deploy an AI model using the provided toolchain or a pre-built application image.
