Alvium® 1800 USB Camera with High-Performance Sony Sensors

Allied Vision’s Alvium 1800 USB camera is a crossover between an embedded module and a high-performance camera for industrial and scientific image processing. It is available as a small and lightweight single board module with various lens mounts or with a completely closed housing.

The Alvium 1800 series fulfill all standards for industrial machine vision: its rugged hardware is built to last and long-term availability is secured. The USB interface complies with the USB3 Vision standard that ensures plug-and-play compatibility with all popular image-processing software libraries. The Sony Pregius sensors deliver outstanding image quality at a high frame rate and the global shutter technology captures crisp images of fast-moving objects. The Alvium 1800 USB cameras are fitted with a separate I/O port allowing high-precision, low-latency triggering and perfect synchronization with peripherals such as lighting. Like any industrial camera, the Alvium 1800 series includes an on-board processor for image correction and pre-processing.

Software integration is easy thanks to Allied Vision’s versatile Vimba SDK compatible with Linux for Arm®, Linux®, and Windows.

With resolutions from 0.4 megapixels to 20 megapixels, the Alvium 1800 USB is the right choice for designers of embedded systems with demanding vision requirements or of PC-based systems looking for a small and affordable yet industrial-grade camera.
