Industrial-grade monitoring cameras

20/06/2025

IDS Imaging Development Systems has launched the ‘uEye Live’ camera series with the uEye SCP and uEye SLE product lines. They are high-quality industrial-grade cameras that specialise in monitoring tasks, deliver various live streams and even allow event recording.

The GigE cameras are designed for standalone operation. In addition to easy access via the web front end (Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)), users benefit from video streaming, hardware-accelerated video encoding and event-based recording in the camera memory. 

This means that if an incident occurs, the cameras provide a valuable ‘window into the past’.

Depending on the intended purpose, users can choose from different design variants: the uEye SCP series has a completely closed 29 × 29 × 29 mm housing and the uEye SLE line consists of board-level models for embedded applications with different mounting options. As of now, the first uEye SCP camera with the 8.3 MP rolling shutter sensor IMX678 from the Sony Starvis 2 series is available. The board-level version and additional sensors will follow later in 2025.

The monitoring cameras are compact and cost-effective. They can deliver multiple video streams at the same time and, due to Sony Starvis 2 technology, they provide impressive image quality even in low-light situations. The integrated image signal processor (ISP) with automatic image enhancement features also plays an important role in this.

In total, there are three parallel streams available. In addition to H264, the models also offer MJPEG via HTTP, which enables direct display in the web browser without the need for additional plug-ins or third-party software. The Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) ensures standardised integration of H264 streams into existing tools and applications. Due to a web-based representational state transfer application programming interface (REST API), the cameras can be easily integrated into machine control systems.
