Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, detailed specifications and datasheets are available. Please contact market@visiondatum.com if you need assistance selecting the right model for your application.

Vision Datum is a manufacturer with its own factory and production capabilities.

Yes. Industrial cameras can capture images for barcode or OCR applications, but decoding and inspection normally require compatible vision or OCR software. Please share the code type, target size, working distance, and required speed for camera selection.

Applicable UAV hyperspectral systems such as the iRx series can be configured for UAV integration, including compatible DJI platforms and gimbals where supported. Please confirm the drone model and interface before purchase.

Ordinary glass generally blocks much of the LWIR radiation used by thermal cameras, so the camera normally measures the glass surface rather than the object behind it.

Yes. SWIR imaging can reveal material differences that are difficult to distinguish in visible light and can be considered for plastic sorting. The appropriate wavelength, sensor, lighting, optics, and required accuracy depend on the plastic types and production speed.

Yes. With an exposure time as short as 1 μs, iCentral Pro and iCentral SE cameras can effectively freeze fast-moving targets and reduce motion blur.

For challenging factory environments, pixel binning modes can improve image brightness and signal performance, while AI image enhancement helps maintain clear and detailed images under low-light conditions.

Yes. With power consumption as low as 2–3 W, iCentral Series cameras generate less heat and image noise than many conventional industrial cameras.

They are designed for stable 24/7 operation in automated inspection systems and other demanding industrial imaging applications.

Yes. The appropriate setup depends on whether the liquid is static or flowing, the particle material, flow speed, and minimum particle size. A suitable solution may combine a camera, lens, lighting, and image-processing software.

Yes. Our official online catalog provides product information for cameras, lenses, lighting, SWIR, infrared cameras, telecentric lenses, and other machine vision products. Please contact our team if you need a specific catalog or product recommendation. Please check link: Product & Technical Resources | Vision Datum

Yes, machine vision can be used for dimensional measurement when the camera, lens, lighting, calibration, and image-processing method are properly configured. Please provide whether the object is stationary or moving, the measurement range, required accuracy, and working distance.

Orders can be modified or canceled before production begins. Once production starts, changes may no longer be possible. Please contact market@visiondatum.com as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order.

Yes, we support both individual and bulk orders. For large quantity purchases, please contact market@visiondatum.com for pricing and customization options.

Customized products are generally non-refundable. However, exceptions may apply depending on the specific case. Please contact our support team to discuss your situation.

Yes. High-speed cameras with frame rates such as 300 fps, 526 fps, 815 fps, or higher can be used for golf swing and ball tracking applications. Compatibility with third-party software should be confirmed before purchase, especially where specific USB 3.0 protocols are required. We provide High Speed Storage Master and free SDK for your analysis development

Yes, you can use your company’s PCCC for customs clearance.

When placing your order, please enter the individual PCCC of the person placing the order in the required PCCC field. In the order notes, please indicate that you would like to use your company’s PCCC for shipping and provide the company’s PCCC number.

We will process the shipment according to your order notes and use the company’s PCCC for customs clearance when applicable.

Yes, you can use your own shipping account. We support FedEx, DHL, UPS, and other major carriers. Please provide your account details when placing the order.

Our industrial cameras can be used in selected surveillance and monitoring applications, but the appropriate model depends on the scene, lighting, working distance, frame rate, and environmental requirements. Please share your surveillance details for a recommendation.

Yes. Depending on the material and the property that needs to be identified, visible, NIR, SWIR, multispectral, or hyperspectral cameras can be considered. Please provide the material type, target difference, sorting speed, and required accuracy.

Yes. With suitable spectral filters and configurations, MWIR systems can visualize gases such as methane and other gases with characteristic absorption bands in real time.

Yes. NIR and SWIR imaging can reveal spectral differences related to vegetation, moisture, and material properties. The appropriate camera depends on the required wavelength range, target property, spatial resolution, and outdoor operating conditions.

Industrial cameras provide image acquisition, while automatic defect detection or pass/fail judgment normally requires image-processing or machine learning software. We can recommend compatible hardware and software based on your target defect, size, speed, and environment.

Yes. The camera can provide image data for shape analysis, but the actual measurement or analysis is normally performed by application software or a customer-developed algorithm. Our SDK provides image acquisition and camera control functions.

Yes. High-speed cameras can be used to record transient laser welding processes for motion and process analysis. Please provide the welding speed, field of view, lighting conditions, and required frame rate so we can recommend a suitable model.

Yes. Thermal cameras can monitor temperature patterns and identify hot areas, with performance depending on sensitivity, field of view, distance, and environmental conditions.

Yes. Thermal cameras can reveal abnormal heat patterns on electrical, mechanical, and industrial equipment. Radiometric models may be preferred for quantitative alarms.

Yes. Our machine vision cameras are used in applications including factory automation, robotics, logistics, inspection, electronics manufacturing, agriculture, medical imaging, and other industrial applications. The suitable camera depends on the target and inspection requirements.

Choose the GigE Series if your application requires:

• Long-distance transmission of up to 100 m
• Multi-camera networking
• PoE for power and data transmission through a single cable
• Flexible industrial network integration

Choose the USB 3.0 Series for short-distance applications that require high bandwidth, high frame rates, and plug-and-play connectivity.

Yes. The iCentral Series cameras include a professional SDK and support C++, C#, Python, HALCON, LabVIEW, and VisionPro for software integration.

They are compatible with Windows, Linux, ARM, and Raspberry Pi platforms, making them easy to integrate into a wide range of machine vision systems and applications.

Choose a Global Shutter camera when inspecting fast-moving objects or applications where motion distortion must be minimized, such as logistics sorting, high-speed manufacturing, and moving electronic components. Global Shutter captures the entire image at the same moment, helping reduce motion-related distortion.

A Rolling Shutter camera can be a suitable choice for stationary targets or applications with controlled and relatively slow movement. It can offer higher resolution and a cost-effective solution when motion distortion is not a major concern.

High-speed cameras are used for motion analysis and transient-event recording, including fluid dynamics, flame and combustion analysis, welding, impact and drop tests, vibration, electrical discharge, and explosion testing.

We currently ship to almost all countries worldwide. If you would like to confirm whether we can ship to your destination, please contact us at market@visiondatum.com.

The standard package includes:

• Camera
• Cable

An optional lens is also available depending on your application requirements.

iCentral Series cameras are suitable for a wide range of machine vision applications, including defect inspection, barcode reading, robot guidance, packaging inspection, electronics manufacturing, and logistics automation.

The Trigger Buffer uses built-in camera memory to temporarily store image data when the host PC is busy, helping reduce the risk of frame loss during high-speed production and inspection processes.

Dual Triggering allows the camera to receive trigger signals from two different hardware sources, providing flexible synchronization for complex multi-device or multi-equipment inspection systems.
