5GigE Vision Camera

The Mars 5GigE series is an industrial 5GigE vision camera, with a 5GigE interface. This is the best interface for high resolution and / or, high speed imaging where cable length is more than 5 meters. The Mars series only contains high resolutions for global shutter sensors.
This model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:
-    An industrial camera
-    Maximum cable length of 100 meters
-    Inexpensive and easy installation of cables
-    Only one cable is required to connect the device
-    Dimensions are: 62x62x53.4mm
-    Using the standard 1000mbit ethernet cabling (cat6 or higher)*

*The GRAB-D-PCIe4-10GPOE-1X1X is required to use a 10GigE, 5GigE or 2.5 Gige camera network interface.

If more details are required, the manual can be consulted.

Monochrome Industrial Camera

A black and white camera, also known as a monochrome camera, offers advantages in a variety of applications. While the market for security and telephony focusses on color cameras, the industrial market utilizes the advantages of black and white cameras. Black and white cameras are very light sensitive, provide sharp images and reduces data compared to color. This makes it ideal for the processing of images. By selecting the right color as your light source and lens filter, a black and white camera can utilize the product its characteristics. Hereby men can create images with a large contrast and a high resolution.

PoE Industrial Camera

Power over Ethernet (PoE) for GigE is designed to provide both power and data communication over a standard Ethernet cable. This reduces the amount of cables and installation time, in applications that do not require a hardware trigger or I/O. When I/O is required in an application we advise to supply the camera via a I/O connector. The camera’s power usage is larger when using Power over Ethernet than via the I/O connector. The camera will generate extra heat when using PoE. A PoE GigE camera is larger than the version without PoE. An extra PCB is needed to separate the power of the Ethernet signal, and in order to convert the voltage to a lower voltage. Extra hardware is needed, which makes it more expensive than the version without PoE. The advantage of PoE is that installation is easier because less cables are required.
