3 Features to Consider When Choosing Industrial Cameras
How do you choose a machine vision camera for your needs? There are several types of industrial camera on the market today but not all of them will be a great fit for the task at hand. Picking the right camera or your application is important if you want efficient business processes or applications.
Choosing industrial cameras
First and foremost, determining the “best” industrial camera will always be subjective because many cameras are designed to work best for specific purposes and in certain environments. For example, a thermal camera is designed to see infrared light through layers of heat and darkness and will work best in dimly lit areas. If you do not need this feature, it’s best to look for another type of camera.
The first thing you have to do when you start looking is to look at the important factors that should influence your decision in choosing an industrial camera. Here are a few things to consider when selecting the type of industrial camera you need.
- Type of sensor. There are four types of image sensors, each at different price ranges and capabilities.
- Image quality. More sensitive cameras will be able to capture clearer and more defined images, even under low light conditions. This depends on the camera’s sensitivity. The more megapixels your camera has, the clearer the images.
- Do you need additional features? There are now smart cameras on the market today that can automatically capture images, whilst industrial 3D cameras can determine an object’s shape at high speeds. You may benefit from more high-tech cameras.
