The Alvium MIPI CSI-2 cameras provide a unique System-on-Chip design for flexibility and freedom when designing machine vision and embedded vision applications.

Alvium cameras are given an advantage over competitive products with their customised (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) ASIC designed by Allied Vision. By designing a custom ASIC Allied Vision have eliminated the need to use an FPGA as typically designed into competetive cameras. This gives Allied Vision full control of their camera design. With volume of scale it can give them a price advantage and offers them a more flexible platform in which to design camera features that others find difficult and more expensive.

The Alvium MIPI CSI-2 models are available in monochrome, colour, UV, VSWIR, NIR and SWIR wavelength bands. The Alvium 1800 MIPI CSI-2 vision camera models provide a wide breadth of functionality. Features and functions include Auto control, Basic control, Image size, Image enhancements, Image correction, Triggering and synchronisation, maintenance, User Interface and Data transmission. These offer significant advantages to a wide range of imaging applications.
