Ordering and integration

What you need with it

In the box (Mightex packing list)

  • 1x Camera (w/o an imaging lens)
  • 1x IR-cut filter (pre-installed, retail version only)
  • 1x USB Cable
  • Notes: (1) For a C-mount enclosed camera order, a CS-mount enclosed camera would be shipped along with a CS-to-C mount adapter (P/N: ACC-CAM-CSC).

Notes from Mightex

  • Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. One should be properly grounded when handling a board-level camera, in order to avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) related damages. For lab use, it is strongly recommended that one choose an enclosed camera, instead of a board-level one.
  • Trigger cable is NOT included and needs to be ordered separately

Combining this with other equipment? Ask for an integration check.
