DS-CAM Video CamerasHigh-Speed Video Cameras for Video Data Acquisition

Video acquisition for every measurement application

Video recording adds a powerful visual dimension to a wide range of measurement applications. Video can provide a detailed event insights when synchronized with acquired sensor data. This integration simplifies analysis and improves data interpretation.

Key benefits include:

• Recording the test environment for better context and documentation.

• Capturing high-speed transients with precise synchronization.

• Enhancing sensor data by serving as a visual reference.

• Monitoring over long distances with a clear field of view.

• Observing multiple locations simultaneously for comprehensive analysis.

By integrating video and measurement data, you gain a clearer, more intuitive understanding of your test results.

Color or monochrome video

Dewesoft DS-CAM cameras are available in both full-color and monochrome (black and white) versions, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific testing needs.

The color version delivers a 60 dB dynamic range, capturing rich detail and vibrant imagery, making it ideal for applications where color differentiation is crucial. The monochrome version provides enhanced sensitivity and contrast, ensuring sharp, high-quality imaging in low-light or high-speed testing scenarios.

This flexibility ensures you get the right visual data for precise analysis in any test environment.

PTP synchronization for seamless multi-camera setup

DS-CAM cameras connect directly to a PC or network switch using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable, enabling easy integration for single or multi-camera setups.

The DS-CAM cameras are PTP-ready and multiple cameras can fully be synchronized using PTP-enalbled switch such as Dewesoft's DS-LAN switches.

With PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronization, multiple DS-CAM cameras and the latest Dewesoft DAQ devices can achieve extreme synchronization accuracy, ensuring perfectly aligned data capture.

DirectX web cameras support

Do you need a synchronized video for your tests but don’t require high-end industrial-grade high-speed cameras?

DewesoftX offers a cost-effective alternative by supporting Microsoft DirectX-compatible webcams. This means you can use almost any standard webcam inside DewesoftX software to seamlessly integrate video into your test scenarios.

No need for expensive hardware—simply connect any off-the-shelf DirectX-compatible camera and start recording. The DewesoftX software does not require any upgrades to add video cameras to your data recording.

The video is software-synchronized with other data sources, such as analog or digital signals, with an accuracy of approximately 10 ms. It’s an easy and affordable way to enhance your data acquisition system with video.
