Vision Components offers compact smart cameras which are especially designed for applications with limited installation space. The board camera VCSBC4012 nano measures 40 x 65 mm, while the VC4012 nano camera line is built in size of 80 x 45 x 20 mm. This high degree of miniaturization was reached by populating both sides of the board with components.

The intelligent cameras feature a CMOS sensor with a 5 Megapixel resolution. Thanks to the CMOS technology, the nano cameras are suited for use in high-speed applications. With a 400 MHz processor and a computing power of 3,200 MIPS, both nano cameras are high-performance, easy-to-integrate image processing systems. The Smart Cameras feature a 100 MBit Ethernet interface and an external trigger input which enables jitter-free image recording even at high reading frequencies. The Ethernet interface allows for video output on a PC. Two digital inputs and four outputs ensure integration into existing automation environments.
