Smart Cameras

About Smart Cameras

Smart cameras are stand-alone camera systems that contain an image sensor, integrated processor, and communication interface. They can be programmed for machine vision, security, and other imaging applications. Smart cameras are similar to vision sensors in that both products have integrated processors for analyzing what the video camera is seeing; however, vision sensors are limited to specific tasks in machine vision systems. Smart cameras provide greater flexibility because of their suitability for a wider range of applications, including code reading and building security.
