e-con Systems launches 5MP Monochrome USB 3.1 SuperSpeed Camera

e-con Systems Inc., a leading camera solutions company, today announced the launch of See3CAM_CU55M, a 5 MP Monochrome USB 3.1 Gen 1 SuperSpeed Camera. With a 1/2.5” AR0521 CMOS image sensor from ON Semiconductor, backed by 2.2μm x 2.2μm pixel BSI technology, this camera produces monochrome images of exceptional quality.

See3CAM_CU55M includes a high level of SNR, which guarantees low noise in all conditions. Its Near Infrared (NIR) responsivity ensures amazing image quality in a variety of lighting conditions. See3CAM_CU55M also comes with HD video playback that provides disruption-free streaming capabilities. It is a perfect fit for industries such as Iris and Biometric Authentication, Digital Microscopy, Biomedical Diagnostic Equipment, Barcode Recognition and others.
