The Imaging Source DFK 42BUC03 color camera has a USB 2.0 interface and is the perfect solution for many industrial automation, quality assurance, security, surveillance and medical applications. The color camera ships with the very sensitive 1/3 inch Micron CMOS MT9M021 sensor. With up to 25 images per second, the DFK 42BUC03 is a low cost, yet highly versatile imaging solution. The camera includes a C to CS mount adapter, making it compatible to C and CS mount lenses. Using the optional CS to M12 board lens adapter, the camera is also compatible to M12 board lenses.
The Imaging Source authors and supports drivers, SDKs, extensions and end-user software for Microsoft Windows, which can be freely downloaded from our web site. Extensions for Microsoft Windows enable the DFK 42BUC03 to be integrated in to common machine vision software libraries, such as LabView and OpenCV. Furthermore, we author and support open source Linux drivers and software (Apache License 2.0) to integrate the camera into popular distributions. Download the Linux source code at GitHub.
