Once configured, the camera can work in stand-alone mode, without the need for a PC. The IVC-2D is easy to integrate with external devices, such as light-and-trigger sources, due to the standard I/Os that are plug-and-play compatible with the vendor’s sensors and camera accessories. For more complex applications, the camera can also send data, such as object coordinates or images of faulty objects, over RS485 or Ethernet. The IVC-2D offers protection class as high as IP 65 when using the optional lens hood.
