GETTING STARTED GUIDE

ISC-178x

Monochrome/Color Smart Camera

The ISC-178x are high-performance smart cameras powered by a 1.58 GHz dual-core Intel
Celeron processor. The combination of the onboard processor with a CMOS image sensor
provides an easily distributed all-in-one system.

In addition to high-performance image acquisition and processing, you can use built-in digital
I/O and industrial communication options for dynamic, real-time communication and
integration with industrial automation devices including programmable logic controllers
(PLCs), human machine interfaces (HMIs), robotics, sensors, and industrial machinery.
