Elphel NC353L-10369-HDD camera

Collectively Elphel Model 353 cameras acquired several billions of high resolution still images.

Elphel cameras  are Free Software and Open Hardware powered, they are specially designed to allow creation of new products. There are Color and B/W Sensor Frontends available (Aptina 5MPix CMOS with or without IR Cutoff Filter) and support for High speed hardware accelerated image/video compression (80 MPix/s). Different Computar© lenses are optionally available.


Recording formats available are Quicktime, OGM, JPEG Image Sequence, JP4 RAW Image Sequence, RAW sensor data and HDR (experimental).

Available Mediums are Stream over 100Mbit Ethernet (unicast or multicast), 2 Compact Flash Card slots, ZIF IDE Connector for camera internal 1.8” HDD and SATA Connector for external HDD, SSD or RAID. USB Applications are audio recording, GPS module & compass which allows recording geotagged video, etc..
You can also use GPIO for external synchronization.


Elphel camera is user/developer friendly and provides open scripting like PHP (API, examples), CGI, C, C++, etc. A Software Development Kit (SDK) and full hardware documentation is freely available. Firmware Upgrade (both GNU/Linux and FPGA) is done over the network and you can use them through Power over Ethernet, 12-36V (mobile applications) or regulated 3.3V.

 

There is also a pack including the camera, lens and midspan power supply, for those who want a quick start in the Elphel world.
