Full HD Sony Starvis IMX462 Ultra Low-light USB Camera

Overview

See3CAM_CU27 is a Full HD USB 3.1 Gen 1 camera based on the SONY® STARVIS™ IMX462 sensor that is capable of capturing high-quality images in near-infrared regions.

This camera's IR sensitivity makes it suitable for night vision applications & medical microscopes. Also, the high sensitivity of this camera helps to capture images even in extremely low lighting conditions (0 lux).

This camera comes with a high-performance onboard Image Signal Processor (ISP) that facilitates accurate color reproduction with auto exposure and auto white balance functions, which provides the best image output.

This UVC compliant camera comes with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface to connect with Windows and Linux systems, and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 host ports. This interface allows streaming of MJPEG video data in Full HD @100 fps and UYVY video data in Full HD @60 fps.
