| − | There are many network cameras (cameras that can serve images/video without computer) on the market today. Some can provide high frame rate video, but limited to 705x480 pixels or less. There are even some high-resolution (megapixel) network cameras, but they usually need a second or more to compress a full size image.

| | | | |
| − | Elphel cameras can do both. It can serve full size images really fast — at 30 frames per second. High resolution may be very useful for security applications — a single camera with a wide angle lens placed in the corner can see over the whole room with the same quality as narrow angle NTSC camera placed on a pan/tilt platform. And it can see it all at the same time without any need of scanning.

| − | Full resolution high frame rate makes it even possible not to use "digital pan-and-tilt" (sending out just a subwindow of the whole frame) — usual way to overcome the slow operation of high resolution network cameras.
| + | [[Using the cameras]] |
| | | | |
| − | Elphel cameras are powered by 48VDC through the LAN cable compliant to the IEEE 802.3af standard. This voltage makes possible to use 4 times longer cables to the camera than 24VDC and 16 times longer than 12VDC — such lower voltages (not IEEE 802.3af compliant) are still used in some powered over LAN cameras.

Documentation
Elphel353 Quick Start Guide
Read this if you just received your camera and want to get it up and running for the first time.
Controlling FPS
There are 2 operation modes free running and triggered. This explains the modes and how to work with them.
External/Internal Triggering
Use the camera internal pulse generator to set custom FPS, use an external connector to trigger image acquisition or sync multiple cameras together.
C/CS Adapter Ring Usage
Every kit contains this adapter ring to connect connect both C-mount as well as CS-mount lenses to the camera.
