Alvium 1800 C cameras are a high-performance embedded vision solution designed for machine vision, robotics, industrial automation and other cost-effective embedded applications. Built on the powerful Alvium platform with support for MIPI CSI-2 up to 4 lanes, this range delivers industrial-grade imaging quality and flexibility in a compact “sugar-cube” form factor. These cameras pair Sony CMOS global shutter sensors with advanced on-board image processing for dependable capture, even in dynamic or fast-moving scenes.
The Alvium 1800 C series brings the performance and robustness of industrial cameras into the embedded world by combining:
- High-quality Sony global shutter sensors for sharp, low-distortion imaging.
- Embedded MIPI CSI-2 interface for direct connection to popular SoCs like NVIDIA Jetson, Xilinx Zynq, and NXP i.MX platforms.
- Compact bare board or open-housing formats for space-constrained systems.
- On-board image processing (ISP) to offload host CPU tasks and improve real-time performance.
Whether you’re developing vision-assisted robotics, automated inspection systems, or intelligent edge devices, the Alvium 1800 C series delivers the image quality and integration ease embedded developers demand.
