Yes, e-con Systems' cameras in mass production are NDAA-compliant. We prioritize security and regulatory compliance in our camera solutions, ensuring they meet the standards outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). For more information, please refer to our blog post. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at camerasolutions@e-consystems.com.

By default, the camera is in auto exposure mode. When the scene has low-light conditions, the auto exposure algorithm will increase the exposure time, thus reducing the frame rate. You can set the maximum exposure limit using exposure compensation in the Extension Control menu or choose manual exposure to get desired frame rates. specific to the frame rate (to get 60fps, the maximum exposure time must be 1/60 => 16.66 milliseconds).

Our USB cameras are UVC-compliant and do not require any special camera drivers to be installed on the host PC. It's just a plug-and-play device. For Windows, by default, the MJPEC codec will be installed when installing e-CAMView. However, the codec might have failed to install in some cases, resulting in an MJPG stream preview. You need to install the MJPEG codec to camera streaming MJPG format. Please go to the e-CAMView installed directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\e-con Systems\e-CAMView" and install the "MJPEGCodec_RETAIL". Refer to the below image for your reference and then check the MJEPG.

Also, camera-related documents can be downloaded from our Developer Website, as mentioned in question 1.

This may be due to bandwidth limitations in the USB host. It can occur when multiple cameras are connected to a single USB host or in USB hosts of less powerful embedded boards. Read this blog for more information on USB practical bandwidths. For MJPEG, reducing the Q-Factor will improve the FPS and stability in case of any issues. If still required, reduce the frame rates.

Our USB camera has some additional controls and features, and these are not quite common controls. Hence they are not included in the standard UVC controls but are listed as UVC Extension controls. We have provided the extension unit SDK package to access the Extension Unit controls. The extension unit SDK package and API document can be downloaded from Developer Resources, as answered in question 1.

Yes. You can use any different lens. Most of our cameras have S-mount (M12) lens holders, and some are CS-Mount and C-mount cameras. Depending on your requirement, you can buy any S-mount (M12) lens from vendors like commonlands, corning, Megapixel Lenses, Sunex, and Edmund optics.

You need to install the latest version of the e-CAMView application. Download the latest e-CAMView application from our website.
