Description
Ultra-compact, inexpensive 0.4 Megapixel camera - interlaced, high
sensitivity
The Guppy F-044B/C is equipped with an ultra-sensitive interlaced CCD sensor - which
makes the move from analog to digital cameras (e.g. quality control applications) very
easy. Additionally, with the Guppy F-044B/C NIR, a version with enhanced NIR sensitivity is
available. At full resolution, it runs at up to 25 fps. Higher frame rates can be reached by a
smaller AOI.
