AVCAM290A Industrial Camera/Analytical Imaging

Product Introduction

The AVCAM Series is designed for retrofit and legacy system integration scenarios requiring analog video signals. It features the Sony IMX307 (1/2.8″, 2.9 µm) sensor and outputs standard format video signals via CVBS (PAL), equivalent to 720×576 @ 25 fps, enabling direct connection to traditional monitors, recorders, and capture cards. The compact form factor with M12 lens mount offers flexible installation, suitable for embedding in complete systems or confined spaces.

The camera employs a rolling shutter and supports exposure range from approximately 105 µs to 20 ms with 1×1/2×2/3×3 hardware binning to balance brightness, resolution, and frame rate. Powered via USB2.0 port (also available for parameter configuration, model-dependent), it operates reliably in cable-restricted or mobile power scenarios. Supporting software and SDK (model-dependent) are provided for remote configuration of gain, exposure, ROI, and system integration.
