USB Cameras
Camera Power
PreciseVision fully supports the IDS Imaging Development System GmbH uEye Series-USB 2.0 Cameras. All models listed below have Global
Shutters, metal cases, C-mount lens adapters, are available in monochrome (M) or color (C), DB9 signal/power connector, and support an external
trigger (DIN) and a digital output (DOUT). Effective frame-to-frame time depends on the exposure time and PC overhead. For total time, add vision
processing time, which is typically less than 100ms. PreciseVision supports up to 6 USB cameras.
RECOMMENDED CAMERA MODELS:
• UI-2410-M/C - 640x480 resolution, 75 frames/second raw frame rate, 1/3” CCD sensor.
• UI-2230SE-M/C - 1024x768 resolution, 30 frames/second raw frame rate, 1/3” CCD sensor.
• UI-2240SE-M/C - 1280x1024 resolution, 15 frames/second raw frame rate, 1/2" CCD sensor.
• UI-2250-M/C - 1600x1200 resolution, 12 frames/second raw frame rate, 1/1.8” CCD sensor.
Power is supplied directly by the USB cable and is generated by the PC’s power supply.
USB Interface PC must be equipped with USB 2.0 interface (not 1.0)

Option 3 - Other 3rd Party USB 2.0 Camera
There are a wide variety of 3rd party USB 2.0 cameras that are available for the home, hobbyist, commercial
and industrial markets. Due to the large number of vendors, their different installation procedures and their
individual idiosyncrasies, Precise cannot guarantee that any camera brand that you select will work properly
and we cannot provide assistance for any camera that has not been tested and qualified by Precise.
Nonetheless, if you wish to interface an unsupported camera without Precise's assistance, please consider
the following when selecting a USB camera.
• PreciseVision utilizes DirectShow to interface to the camera. Therefore, the USB camera
must be compatible with DirectShow, which is quite common.
• PreciseVison's image acquisition tool has been specially optimized for the IDS uEye family
of cameras. Other USB cameras will take somewhat more time to acquire an image.
• For similar features, a camera in a plastic case will be less expensive than a camera in a
metal case. You must determine if the additional ruggedness of a metal case is important
for your environment.
• Many inexpensive cameras utilize the standard USB connectors that are retained by friction.
It is relatively easy for these to become accidentally disconnected as compared to screw
in DB connectors such as those used in the IDS uEye cameras.
• Many inexpensive cameras either have integrated fixed lens or lens mounts that do not
support the full range of lens that are available. Also, many lens do not have screws for
locking in the focus or F-stop adjustments.
• Most cameras do not have trigger inputs and digital outputs. These are important features
for conveyor belt tracking and other real-time image capture requirements. Also, since
communication standards have not been established for these features, even if the camera
has these hardware features, PreciseVision will probably not be able to access this
capability.
