Advantech’s ICAM-500 series industrial AI camera was developed to help users lower the barrier of camera integration. This solution stands out as unique, as only a few others provide this level of integration. The majority of AI developers lack the optical expertise required to integrate the necessary lighting or lenses for their applications. This solution reduces the burden by handling these aspects, making it easier to focus on core tasks. The ICAM incorporates a programmable variable focus lens, advanced LED illumination lighting, and a Sony IMX industrial-grade image sensor into its design. In terms of image quality capability, the ICAM is equipped with a built-in hardware image signal processor (ISP). This feature efficiently handles image processing, significantly reducing the processor's workload. The ICAM is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson-based AI compute module and AI software stack, enhancing its performance.
