About Smart Cameras
Smart cameras are stand-alone camera systems that contain an image sensor, integrated processor, and communication interface. They can be programmed for machine vision, security, and other imaging applications. Smart cameras are similar to vision sensors in that both products have integrated processors for analyzing what the video camera is seeing; however, vision sensors are limited to specific tasks in machine vision systems. Smart cameras provide greater flexibility because of their suitability for a wider range of applications, including code reading and building security.
Smart cameras have a communications interface that allows them to input instructions or output data. Because these devices also have an onboard processor and memory, they can be programmed to perform image analysis. Smart cameras do not output video signals like regular video cameras. Instead, these stand-alone camera systems output actual data based upon the internal analysis performed. Such functionality is similar to that of a vision sensor, yet vision sensors cannot be programmed to perform other functions. Moreover, vision sensors are usually prepackaged or otherwise limited.
