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
