Lu273

2.0 Megapixel USB 2.0 OEM Camera Module

OEM Megapixel USB Camera

Lumenera’s Lu273 is comprised of a single small form factor board, tethered to a 1600x1200 resolution CMOS camera head. This single board design is a cost-effective solution for applications requiring megapixel resolution, fast frame rates, high dynamic range, and high sensitivity in uncontrolled lighting environments.

The Lu273’s small form factor makes it an excellent fit for reduced-space systems such as handhelds, unmanned vehicles, and discreet surveillance cameras. Megapixel resolution allows for a wide field of view commonly found in cameras with a much larger factor, while a high-speed driver delivers up to 20 fps — suitable for fast-event image capture and quality control in high-throughput manufacturing environments. The Lu273’s high sensitivity makes this camera the best choice for applications with ambient light conditions. Available in both color and monochrome, as well as enclosed form factors.
