This reduces the amount of cables and installation time, in applications that do not require a hardware trigger or I\/O. When I\/O is required in an application we advise to supply the camera via a I\/O connector. The camera’s power usage is larger when using Power over Ethernet than via the I\/O connector. The camera will generate extra heat when using PoE. A PoE GigE camera is larger than the version without PoE. An extra PCB is needed to separate the power of the Ethernet signal, and to convert the voltage to a lower voltage. Extra hardware is needed, which makes it more expensive than the version without PoE. The advantage of PoE is that installation is easier because less cables are required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VA Imaging","offers":[{"title":"C-mount","offer_id":41442956738694,"sku":"MER2-503-23GM-P-POL","price":936.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CS-mount (+2 weeks extra delivery time)","offer_id":41442956771462,"sku":"MER2-503-23GM-P-POL-M01","price":936.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/5242\/0486\/files\/MER2-503-23GM-P-POL_Camera_GigE_Vision_1_93ade526-2f93-4790-b9a2-7ee5873fef47.webp?v=1759567911"},{"product_id":"usb-camera-3-0-5mp-monochrome-sony-imx264mzr-mer2-503-36u3m-pol","title":"MER2-503-36U3M-POL, IMX264MZR Polarization, 2448x2048, 36fps, 2\/3 inch, Global shutter, CMOS, Mono","description":"\u003ch2\u003eUSB3 Polarization Camera IMX264\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB3.0 Polarization camera is an industrial vision camera, with an \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/camera-usb3-vision\"\u003eUSB3.0 interface.\u003c\/a\u003e In our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/machine-vision-knowledge-center\"\u003ewhitepaper about USB3 polarization camera\u003c\/a\u003e you can find more information about the benefits of an industrial polarization camera.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis model is interesting for you when your application complies with the following conditions:\u003cbr\u003e-    An industrial camera\u003cbr\u003e-    Polarization\u003cbr\u003e-    Maximum cable length of 4.5 meters\u003cbr\u003e-    Only one cable is required to connect the device\u003cbr\u003e-    Dimensions are: 29x29x29mm\u003cbr\u003e-    Suitable for PC’s and embedded platforms: ARM V7 \u0026amp; ARM V8\u003cbr\u003e-    Optional hardware triggering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf more details are required, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/pages\/requestdownload\"\u003emanual can be consulted.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMTBF, warranty \u0026amp; product life cycle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach year, Daheng Imaging produces more than 100.000 industrial cameras according to the highest quality standards.

The camera will generate extra heat when using PoE. A PoE GigE camera is larger than the version without PoE. An extra PCB is needed to separate the power of the Ethernet signal, and to convert the voltage to a lower voltage. Extra hardware is needed, which makes it more expensive than the version without PoE.
