IDS Introduces "uEye Live" Camera Series for Industrial Streaming, Monitoring, and Event Recording
Discover Industrial-Grade Cameras with High-Quality and Precisely Streamed Live Recording
Would you open the machine every time to check the interaction of components or wear? There is no point in that. It is much easier to keep an eye on the situation by using a camera. Models from the consumer sector are quite common, but they also come with downsides: they are often only available for a very limited time - and usually, spare parts are hard to obtain. IDS Imaging Development Systems is therefore now launching the "uEye Live" camera series with the uEye SCP and uEye SLE product lines. They specialise in monitoring tasks, deliver various live streams and even allow event recording.
The GigE cameras are designed for standalone operation. In addition to easy access via the web front end (HTTP), users benefit from video streaming, hardware-accelerated video encoding and event-based recording in the camera memory. This means that if an incident occurs, the cameras provide a valuable "window into the past".
Depending on the intended purpose, users can choose from different design variants: the uEye SCP series has a completely closed, 29x29x29 mm housing. The uEye SLE line consists of board-level models for embedded applications with different mounting options. As of now, the first uEye SCP camera with the 8.3 MP rolling shutter sensor IMX678 from the Sony Starvis 2 series is available. The board-level version and additional sensors will follow in 2025.
Philipp Ohl, Head of Product Management at IDS, explains: "These monitoring cameras are industrial-grade, compact and cost-effective. They can deliver multiple video streams at the same time - and thanks to Sony Starvis 2 technology, they provide truly impressive image quality even in low-light situations." The integrated ISP with automatic image enhancement features also plays an important role in this.
In total, there are three parallel streams available. In addition to H264, the models also offer MJPEG via HTTP, which enables direct display in the web browser without additional plug-ins or third-party software. The RTSP protocol ensures standardised integration of H264 streams into existing tools and applications. Thanks to a web-based REST API, the cameras can be easily integrated into machine control systems.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
