Alecs
Allied Vision Embedded Camera Solution
The Open Smart Camera Alecs combines computational power and easy integration with design flexibility. Unlock the full potential of machine learning and deep learning applications.
Alecs - the Open Smart Camera
With Alecs, Allied Vision moves beyond providing just components to offering integrated solution platforms. This powerful system is ideal for developers and organizations with expertise in embedded hardware, Linux systems, and programming—enabling you to create precisely the camera solution your application demands.
Open vs. Closed Camera: Understanding the Difference
At Allied Vision, we distinguish between two types of smart cameras. Unlike conventional "closed" smart cameras that come with pre-installed software for specific applications, Alecs represents Allied Vision's entry into the open smart camera market - a powerful hardware platform with a comprehensive Board-Support-Package (BSP) that you can customize with your own software.
Take control of your vision applications with the flexibility and power that an Open Smart Camera provides.
Closed Smart Cameras:
Was die meisten Menschen als traditionelle intelligente Kameras betrachten, sind komplette, feste Lösungen mit begrenzten Anpassungsmöglichkeiten.
Open Smart Camera:
Alecs bietet die hochentwickelte Hardware und eine Linux-basierte Grundlage, die Ihnen die vollständige Freiheit gibt, Ihre eigenen Anwendungen zu entwickeln und bereitzustellen. Sobald Sie Ihre spezialisierte Software hinzufügen, verwandeln Sie Alecs in eine maßgeschneiderte "Geschlossene intelligente Kamera".
Alecs - The all-in-one machine vision solution
Alecs combines the feature-rich Alvium camera platform with the powerful NVIDIA® Orin NX™ System on Module (SoM) in a robust IP67 housing. With Alvium camera at its core, Alecs offers a wide range of integrated sensors and a comprehensive feature set for image processing. Compatible with the Open eVision Image analysis libraries from Euresys it has everything to process your image data on Alecs directly. The system is designed to provide enough computational power to develop and deploy sophisticated software and AI algorithms with ease.
