The Elphel cameras are highly customizable Network cameras.
Turnkey and OEM models exist, both are totally customizable for the customer's task.
Key features
- High resolution sensors support
- High speed compression: 80 MPix/s
- There is many modes of shooting: JPEG, MJPEG, JP4, Motion JP4, HDR modes
- There is many interfaces: Compact Flash, SATA, Ethernet 10/100, USB, RS-232;
- User friendly scripting on the camera (PHP5, well defined and Open API, examples)
- Totally Free Software: all firmware sources both for GNU/Linux and FPGA are distributed under GNU/GPL v3 license. The SDK is composed of FOSS components (not include ISE Webpack for FPGA development, but this software is freely downloadable)
- Full hardware documentation is also available under GNU/FDL v1.2 license.
Power
- POE 802.3af
- or optionally a 9-36v POE (not 802.3af complaint)
- or single 3.3V source
Interesting possibilities
- synchronized shooting (multiple sensors, multiple cameras, external trigger)
- Standard GNU/Linux distribution offer the possibility to port existing software and kernel drivers for support more external devices (USB gadgets, converters, ...)
- GPS and compass integration
- RFID intergation
- Focus helper
- Data insertion into EXIF header (GPS, compass, INS, other telemetry, ..)
- Parametres of shooting changing on the fly without loss of speed of shooting
- Hooking up to 3 sensors to one camera
- Robust and reliable on the networks firmware upgrade (reflashing)
- Remote/local digital temperature sensor
- On-board clock/calendar
- Fan connector
- AUX connector
Application areas
- scientific imagery and video applications
- medical imagery
- timelapse video (Including HDR support)
- geotagging applications

- observation of wildlife
- aerial imagery and video applications
- digital cinematography
- machine vision
- exploration
- security
- paper scanning
- street imagery
- education (Verilog, Image processing, Networking)
- underwater imaging
- 3D reconstruction
- 2D/3D laser scanning
- barcode reading
- sport (Photo-finish)
