To satisfy the industry's needs for modern and long term camera technology, SVS-VISTEK developed the SVCam series. Leading edge technologies and highest devotion to quality make the SVCam series very successful in all fields of applications, where high resolution at an unbeatable price is required.

High-end in industrial image processing
Increase throughput, improve accuracy – these are the two key issues of industrial image processing in virtually all industries. Under the name "SVCam" we develop and produce high-performance CCD and CMOS cameras with Gigabit Ethernet or Camera Link interface.

Fundamental to all SVS-Vistek developments are always quality, reliability and a high degree of customizability. Depending on the purpose they are currently five product lines to choose from: SVCam-ECO (compact design), SVCam-EVO (highest frame rates), SVCam-SLC (90 ° angle), SVCam-CF (broad range of models) and SVCam-HR (highest resolution possible).

Within the SVCam series the following camera lines are available at the moment:

SVCam-ECO: Extremely small and economic
SVCam-EVO: High data rate and high resolution
SVCam-CF: Large Standard range for every field of application
SVCam-HR: Highest frame rate and detailed fidelity
SVCam-SLC: 90° angled head for limited space requirements.

All cameras are in a new design with compact housing. Monochrome and colour versions (Bayer Pattern) are available. The cameras are designed for best signal to noise ratio and minimum heating up.
