Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What is RouteCAM_CU22, and what are its kit contents?

RouteCAM_CU22 is the powerful addition to high performance Ethernet camera series, built to endure the toughest outdoor conditions. RouteCAM_CU22 is a Full HD HDR camera based on the Sony STARVIS22 IMX662 sensor. The kit contains RouteCAM_P_CU22_CXLC_IP67_H01R2 - 2MP IP-rated Ethernet camera with around 140° DFOV optical lens, POE injector setup and a 3m M12 to ethernet cable.

2. Is synchronization supported in RouteCAM_CU22 while using multiple cameras?

Yes. RouteCAM_CU22 supports network time synchronization which allows triggering over ethernet for synchronized multi-camera streaming.

3. I need a different lens to cover a wider FOV (Field Of View). How to do it?

By default, the camera comes with M12 lens holder and as it is an IP67 rated camera, the lens is glued with the lens holder. If you need a different lens, e-con will customize any type of lens according to your requirements.

4. I want to use a motorized lens for zoom control. Can we do it with this camera?

Yes. This is possible with customization. Please write to camerasolutions@e-consystems.com for more details.

5. Can I change the lens mount from S-mount to C-mount?

Yes, supporting a C-mount lens holder is feasible through a hardware customization effort. For any customization requirements, please contact us at camerasolutions@e-consystems.com.

6. Can I use this kit under NIR light conditions?

RouteCAM_CU22 camera is based on the Sony STARVIS2 IMX662 sensor that has superior NIR sensitivity (due to its high Quantum Efficiency value within the spectrum). However, the default lens provided with the camera kit has an IR cut filter that filters the incoming IR light. To evaluate the camera under NIR conditions, you can use an IR pass lens. For choosing a different lens, kindly write your requirements to sales@e-consystems.com.

7. I need RouteCAM with a different camera sensor. Is it possible?

Yes, the customization for other sensors is available. RouteCAM_CU22 features the Sony STARVIS2 IMX662 sensor and integrated ISP.
