Basler Pylon 6 software for Android applications

An easy-to-use interface for mobile Android machine vision applications.

The Basler Pylon 6 Camera Software Suite, Version 6.1.0, now allows Basler cameras to be used for applications on mobile Android systems.

The Pylon software makes the Basler Ace, Ace2, Dart and Pulse cameras entirely compatible with Android systems, allowing developers to access mobile applications with these professional computer vision cameras.
