4K RGB-IR USB camera for diverse embedded vision applications

e-con Systems has launched its latest innovation, See3CAM_CU83 - a 4K RGB-IR superspeed USB Camera featuring onsemi's AR0830 sensor. This RGB-IR camera delivers promising performance for various applications, including biometric access control, in-cabin monitoring, crop health monitoring, image-guided surgeries, and smart patient monitoring.

The camera sets a new standard in the industry with its ability to simultaneously stream RGB-IR frames, capturing high-quality 4K images in both visible and IR lighting conditions.

The camera includes the company's proprietary RGB-IR separation algorithm to process RGB and IR frames from the sensor separately. This approach eradicates the need for separate RGB and IR sensors, delivering clear, precise images with low latency and providing a more cost-effective solution. The absence of mechanical switch filters further enhances the camera's reliability. Leveraging e-con's extensive expertise in image signal processing (ISP) fine-tuning, the camera delivers high-quality 4K resolution images, ensuring superior image quality.

"By integrating our AR0830 sensor into their 4K RGB-IR superspeed USB camera, See3CAM_CU83, and combining it with their RGB-IR separation algorithm, e-con Systems delivers a composite camera system that now can be extensively deployed in both visible and NIR spectrums," said Steve Harris, senior director of marketing, Industrial and Commercial Sensing Division, onsemi. "This combination enables superior performance and color accuracy across a wide range of embedded vision applications like biometric access control, in-cabin monitoring and image guided surgeries."

"See3CAM_CU83 represents a significant milestone in our product lineup. With over 20 years of experience in embedded vision, e-con Systems has generated multiple patents. This camera uses e-con's own proprietary algorithm that processes RGB-IR frames from the single sensor into separate RGB and IR frames. The camera's ability to capture both visible and infrared light at the same time with a dual band-pass optical system also allows it to operate seamlessly in both day and night modes across a wide range of vision applications." said Prabu Kumar, Head of Camera Solutions Unit at e-con Systems.

With its advanced features and the company's expertise in OEM camera innovation, See3CAM_CU83 stands out in the competitive landscape. It is also the only RGB-IR camera with 4K resolution available on the market.
