La Arducam UVC AI Camera basata su Sony IMX500 è una camera “universale” per vision AI: acquisizione e inferenza direttamente a bordo (Edge AI), riducendo latenza e dipendenza da server o cloud.

Grazie all’interfaccia USB 3.2 Gen 1 con USB-C e compatibilità UVC (quindi senza driver aggiuntivi), si collega rapidamente a PC e sistemi embedded su Windows e Linux. In modalità AI supporta 2016×1520 a 10–20 fps, mentre senza AI arriva fino a 4048×3040 a 12 fps (o 2016×1520 a 40 fps).

Il modulo integra un’ottica grandangolare 113° con M12 mount (utile per personalizzazioni) e filtro IR 650 nm. Per lo sviluppo sono disponibili SDK Arducam IMX500UVC e librerie/modelli tramite AI Model Zoo.
