How Camera Selection Impacts the Inspection & Monitoring Accuracy of Industrial Drones

Ram Prasad
Industrial drones now handle inspection, monitoring, and audit tasks across plants, refineries, energy assets, yards, mining sites, construction zones, and utility corridors. Their value depends on the quality of the visual evidence they return, which means the camera must see enough detail for a human reviewer or an AI model......

Camera Reliability in ASRS: Why a Single Point of Failure Can Slow Down the Entire System

Suresh Madhu
In ASRS, any camera failure rarely appears as an obviously visible hardware issue. Instead, it shows up inside the automation flow, where the control system needs visual confidence before clearing the next movement, handoff, placement, or recovery step. The camera may be a small part of the machine, but the......

Robotics Development Just Got Faster & Smarter: e-con Systems’ iToF 3D Camera Comes to NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Arun Asokan
Every robotics project that depends on 3D perception starts with the same high-stakes questions: How many cameras are required? Where should they be mounted? Traditionally, answering these questions has meant procuring hardware, building test rigs, and iterating slowly. This can consume weeks of engineering effort before a single line of......

Vision Systems in Surveillance Drones: Why High Resolution and Global Shutter Matter

Ram Prasad
A surveillance drone can reach the right place at the right time, yet the final image still has to carry enough detail for people and software to understand what happened. While surveillance drones have changed how teams inspect large sites, monitor public spaces, and more, their ability to help make......

A Developer’s Guide to USB Camera Streaming on Linux Using Open-Source Command-Line Tools

Prabu Kumar
Streaming from a camera on Linux is a  common requirement, especially for developers building embedded vision applications. In many cases, proprietary software solutions add licensing costs and limit flexibility, making it difficult to customize workflows for specific applications. To overcome these challenges, we will demonstrate how to leverage popular open-source......

Why Camera Design Matters in Open Road Tolling (ORT) and Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF)

Dilip Kumar
Open Road Tolling and Multi-Lane Free Flow systems must record each vehicle without interrupting traffic. The camera has a brief capture window to produce a plate image that OCR can read, and the tolling system can connect to the correct transaction. See how camera design supports multi-lane capture at highway...

ALPR Systems Are Being Hacked – Here’s What the Industry Isn’t Talking About

Dilip Kumar
Ever heard how fact is stranger than fiction? It’s scarier too! A security researcher recently used publicly available network scanning tools to find over 170 live ALPR cameras in major US cities (including Nashville and Chicago). The person used open remote access ports and factory-default passwords that had never been......
