DMK 31AF03 Monochrome Camera

The Imaging Source "31" Series FireWire 400 Camera

Only 50.6×50.6×56 mm
Lens not included

The Imaging Source DMK 31AF03 monochrome camera has a FireWire 400 interface and is the perfect
solution for many industrial automation, quality assurance, security, surveillance and medical applications.
The monochrome camera ships with the very sensitive 1/3 inch Sony CCD ICX204AL sensor. With up to 30 images
per second, the DMK 31AF03 is a low cost, yet highly versatile imaging solution. The camera includes a C to CS mount
adapter, making it compatible to C and CS mount lenses. Using the optional CS to M12 board lens adapter, the camera is
also compatible to M12 board lenses.

The Imaging Source authors and supports drivers, SDKs, extensions and end-user software for Microsoft Windows, which can be freely
downloaded from our web site. Extensions for Microsoft Windows enable the DMK 31AF03 to be integrated in to common machine
vision software libraries, such as LabView and OpenCV. Furthermore, we author and support open source Linux drivers and software
(Apache License 2.0) to integrate the camera into popular distributions. Download the Linux source code at GitHub.
