Because the GigE „powered over Ethernet“ models manage with only one cable for data transmission and power supply – although a 12–24V DC input is also available – they can be integrated into a wide range of applications even more easily. Their exceptionally compact design and plug & play functionality, familiar from other IDS USB cameras, add to this flexibility. Like the USB cameras, the GigE models emit a periodic „heartbeat“, which means that they are automatically detected by the host PC, added to the camera list in uEye Camera Manager and are ready to use immediately.
The new range of GigE industrial cameras with PoE also includes versions with state of the art CMOS sensor technology. The benefits of these sensors, such as excellent light sensitivity and high frame rates, complement the features of the GigE interface perfectly.
