Introduction

Ethernet output camera modules are sophisticated imaging devices capable of transmitting video and image data over Ethernet networks. These modules, often used in surveillance, industrial automation, and remote sensing applications, are prized for their reliability and speed.

Technical Specifications of Ethernet Output Camera Modules

Ethernet output camera modules typically feature a variety of specifications that cater to different application needs. Below are common specifications:

  • Resolution: Up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Frame Rate: Up to 60 frames per second
  • Data Rate: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet), some models support 10 Gbps
  • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)
  • Power Supply: Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant
  • Compression Standards: H.264, H.265, MJPEG

Advantages of Ethernet Output Camera Modules

There are several advantages to using Ethernet output camera modules:

  • High Bandwidth: Supports high data rates necessary for transmitting high-resolution images and videos.
  • Network Integration: Seamless integration into existing Ethernet infrastructure.
  • Remote Accessibility: Enables remote monitoring and data management.
  • Scalability: Easily scalable for large installations with numerous cameras.
  • Cost-Efficiency: Reduces the need for additional power supplies thanks to PoE.
