With the Alvium 1800 U-501 NIR, Allied Vision is expanding its range of USB cameras based on 'Alvium' technology. The 5.1 megapixel USB3 vision camera is equipped with the ON Semi Near Infrared sensor 'AR0522', which was developed for both low light conditions and high dynamic ranges.
The combination of small size, low weight, low power consumption and NIR sensitivity makes the camera particularly suitable for surveillance and security applications, especially in low light conditions, as well as for applications where NIR sensitivity is an advantage.
This is usually the case when visible light would dazzle people or be disruptive for the purpose of the application (e.g. traffic monitoring and eye tracking).
