Cameras are used to capture image data from an examined object or location for a number of imaging applications such as factory automation and autonomous systems. Cameras are imaging components that interface with imaging lenses. Cameras feature sensors designed to image focused light. Cameras are offered in many different sensor formats, as well as CCD or CMOS sensor types suitable for nearly any camera imaging application.

Edmund Optics offers a wide range of analog or digital Cameras designed for a variety of imaging applications, including video microscopy or industrial use. Cameras use a wide range of video outputs to display an image on a monitor. Digital Cameras are available with a variety of digital interfaces, such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB, 3.1, and USB-C; FireWire.a, FireWire.b; Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), Power over Ethernet (PoE), CoaXpress (CXP), or Camera Link® to ensure maximum compatibility with any number of applications’ needs.
