VIU1: EdgeBasic
The VIU1 camera is a compact, robust, and versatile IoT edge camera specifically designed for industrial image processing tasks, covering a wide range of applications. Its strengths lie particularly in the following aspects:
Compact and robust design
The VIUx1 is designed to be particularly space-saving and robust, making it suitable for a wide variety of industrial environments – even where there is little space for peripherals and demanding operating conditions prevail.
IoT edge functionality
As an IoT edge camera, it combines image capture, industrial image processing, communication, and data transmission in a single device. This allows image data to be captured and processed directly at the edge of the network before being potentially forwarded or analyzed.
Easy integration and connection
The camera can be flexibly integrated into existing systems and supports different connection methods (e.g. Ethernet or WLAN access via browser), which simplifies setup and operation.
Usable across platforms
The VIU1 works with both embedded devkits and classic industrial environments as well as in cloud applications — making it scalable for a wide variety of use cases.
Software integration included
The camera comes bundled with evoVIU software, which is browser-based and requires no additional local installation. Image processing workflows can be easily configured and customized, even without in-depth programming knowledge.
Versatile application scenarios
Typical applications range from quality and defect detection to barcode and QR code reading, as well as smart industrial and smart city applications – the camera delivers reliable results and supports precise automated testing processes.
