Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

See3CAM_CU83_CHLCC_H0xR1 is an 8 MP, RGB-IR, rolling shutter camera based on onsemi's AR0830 1/2.9" image sensor. It is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 camera with a Type-C reversible interface and comes with an S-mount (M12) lens holder.

See3CAM_CU83 can simultaneously stream both RGB and IR frames using an FPGA with e-con's proprietary algorithms to separate the RGB and IR frames. And with the built-in ISP fine-tunes the RGB frames while streaming IR frames separately.

See3CAM_CU83 streams both RGB and infrared (IR) frames simultaneously, eliminating the need for a mechanical switch to toggle between the two modes. This simultaneous streaming enhances efficiency and reliability for applications that require both visible and IR imaging.

Below is a table summarizing the contents of the See3CAM_CU83 camera kit for both the 940nm and 850nm variants:

The camera supports Y16, UYVY, and Y8 formats, with RGB-IR and IR-specific modes.

Yes, a special configuration is required for dual streaming (RGB+IR). You need to use our proprietary application, which follows a specific logic to separate the processed color (RGB) and IR frames, to preview both streams.

You can capture the IR stream alone by selecting a resolution of 920 x 675. The IR stream will be available in Y16 format with 10-bit RAW output.

The frame rate can be adjusted through Human Interface Device (HID) controls, allowing users to set a custom frame rate depending on their application.

Yes, the camera features an anti-flicker mode, designed to reduce or eliminate flicker from artificial light sources such as fluorescent or LED lights.

Yes, the See3CAM_CU83 camera can operate with both 850nm and 940nm IR wavelengths. Currently, the camera is equipped with a 940nm IR filter that is fine-tuned to deliver high-quality images in both RGB and IR modes. If you require the 850nm variant, please contact us camerasolutions@e-consystems.com - , and we can provide you with an engineering sample.

Yes, the camera comes with an M12 lens holder, allowing the use of different lenses to suit various applications.

Yes, switching to a C-mount lens holder is possible through the hardware customization. Contact us at sales@e-consystems.com for any custom requirements. You could check out our camera customization page to learn more about the different types of customization services we offer.

The camera features an M12 lens holder, allowing you to use any standard S-mount lens (M12 x 0.5) with the default lens holder. Please write to camerasolutions@e-consystems.com for lens suggestions. To learn the best practices for choosing an M12 lens for your end applications, please check out our article: Ultimate Step-by-step Guide to choosing an M12 lens for your embedded camera application.

No, the 850nm bandpass filter should not be used with the 940nm variant, as the camera requires different image tuning for each IR spectrum.

No, the camera is UVC compliant and works with standard drivers available in both Windows and Linux operating systems.

Currently, this camera is available in the USB version. For other interfaces like MIPI, GMSL, and GigE, please write a mail to camerasolutions@e-consystems.com.

Yes, the camera is RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets environmental safety standards.
