Allied Vision has announced the upcoming release of the Alvium 1800 U-501 NIR, a cutting-edge USB3 Vision camera powered by ALVIUM® Technology and featuring advanced near-infrared (NIR) imaging capabilities. With its 5.1-megapixel resolution driven by ON Semi’s AR0522 sensor, this camera is designed for applications requiring high sensitivity in low-light conditions or high dynamic range performance.

The Alvium 1800 U-501 NIR combines a compact design, lightweight construction, and efficient power usage with its enhanced NIR capabilities. This makes it particularly suitable for surveillance, security systems, traffic monitoring, and eye-tracking applications where visible light could interfere with functionality. By eliminating the need for additional lighting, NIR cameras can also reduce system complexity and costs.

Offering a frame rate of 67 frames per second at full resolution, this camera is ideal for high-speed imaging tasks as well.
