Lu173

1.3 Megapixel USB 2.0 Camera Module

OEM Megapixel USB Camera

Lumenera’s Lu173 is comprised of a single small form factor board, tethered to a 1280x1024 resolution CMOS camera head. A cost-effective solution for applications requiring megapixel resolution, fast frame rates and high dynamic range.

Handhelds, unmanned vehicles, discreet surveillance and applications with ambient light greatly benefit from the Lu173’s single board design and small form factor. Other features include megapixel resolution for capturing a wide field of view, and high sensitivity for applications with ambient or uncontrolled lighting environments. High-speed drivers that deliver up to 30 fps at full resolution are ideally suited for fast-event image capture and increasing throughput in manufacturing environments.

Available in monochrome as well as enclosed form factors.
