USB3 compact high-resolution imaging cameras

The ME2S USB3 series is a very compact industrial USB3 imaging camera. It supports high resolution Sony and Gpixel global shutter sensors. Common applications for these imaging cameras are markets like machine vision, automation,  labs, R&D and so on. USB3 is a high speed and low cost interface, available on all pc’s. This imaging camera is a perfect fit for you if you need:
-    A compact 29x29mm industrial imaging camera
-    Capturing high resolution images of moving objects
-    Suitable for computers (x86) and embedded platforms: ARM V7 & ARM V8
-    I/O cable is required to power the camera and control the I/O (except for 5MP ME2S-560)
Please note that due to the high powerconsumption of the image sensor, this camera needs external power using the I/O cable. Therefore always order an I/O cable with this imaging camera (except for 5MP ME2S-560). 

MTBF, warranty & product life cycle

Each year, Daheng Imaging produces more than 100.000 industrial cameras according to the highest quality standards. The mean time between failure (MTBF) is more than 400.000 hours (45 years, 24/7). The industrial cameras are certified by TÜV Rheinland and have a 3 year warranty. After market introduction, every camera model is available for at least 7 years. Most cameras have a much longer product life cycle. For more information about our product life cycle management, check this article.

Industrial Color Camera

A color camera makes use of a Bayer pattern to produce a colored image. The RGB value of every pixel is being calculated by taking the value of a pixel, in combination with all the values of neighboring pixels. This results into less sharp images than those of a monochrome camera.
Due to the RGB filter on the pixels, every single pixel, considering white light, on average has 66% less photons than a monochrome camera. Which makes a color camera less light sensitive than a monochrome one. To compensate this, the following options are available:
-    Increase the amount of light
-    Increase the gain
-    Increase shutter speed / exposure time
-    Select a more light sensitive sensor
-    Select a more light sensitive lens

Advanced vision camera features

The ME2S USB3 vision camera serie has both standard and advanced features onboard, like:
- Programmable ROI, increased frame rate with partial scan
- Gain, exposure and white balance programmable (white balance only for color models)
- Support auto gain, auto exposure and auto white balance (auto white balance only for color models)
- Four acquisition controls: Single frame acquisition/Continuous acquisition/Software trigger acquisition/External trigger acquisition
- Trigger mode: Frame Start /Frame Burst Start
- Support color correction for improving image quality (only for color models)
- Exposure delay effectively reduces the effect of the strobe delay
- Compatible with GenICam™ and GigE Vision®, can be used in a wide range of 3rd-party software such as HALCON and LabVIEW directly
- Optimized software package for lower CPU loads in host running 32/64bit Windows
- Multiple samples and easy-to-integrate SDK for various programming tools
- Regulations: CE, RoHS, GenICam, USB3 Vision

The complete set of features makes the ME2S USB3 Vision camera serie a perfect choice for high performance image processing.
