USB camera C1 PRO

C1 PRO is an industrial USB camera intended for embedded systems and long-term operation where predictable behavior and simple integration are required. It provides Full HD video output using standard UVC interface, allowing use without custom drivers on common operating systems. The camera includes onboard video encoding to reduce USB bandwidth usage and host processing load. A CS-mount lens interface enables the use of a wide range of optics depending on the required field of view and application.

Camera is based on a Sony IMX290 CMOS sensor with a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and supports frame rates up to 30fps. Video output formats include H.264, MJPEG, and YUYV. Connection is via USB with UVC compatibility on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. Image parameters such as exposure, gain, white balance (2800–9300K), gamma, and backlight compensation can be manually controlled. A 650nm IRcut filter is installed by default. The enclosure measures approximately 40x40x23mm, weighs 53g, uses a CS-mount lens thread, and has an IP40 rating. The specified operating temperature range is –50°C to +85°C, non-condensing.

* Not recommended for new installations. See C2 and C3 family USB cameras.
