The IDS UI-5240CP-NIR is a high-performance, cost-effective industrial camera offering excellent near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity for various machine vision applications. It is part of the uEye CP (Compact Power) family, known for its small form factor, robust magnesium housing, and suitability for multi-camera systems. This camera utilizes a 1.3 Megapixel ON Semiconductor AR0132 NIR CMOS sensor (1280 x 1024 resolution) with global shutter technology, making it ideal for capturing sharp images of fast-moving objects without motion blur.

The GigE interface ensures reliable data transfer over long distances using standard Ethernet cables. Key attributes of the camera center on its impressive light sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability, which simplifies cabling requirements. The camera also provides an array of intelligent, application-oriented features such as linescanner mode, multi-exposure mode, and a sequencer mode, all configurable via the IDS Software Suite, which offers a stable and powerful platform for system integration.
