Network SmartCamera V2007 (coming soon)

Who needs a PC when a camera is enough?

With the emQbit's Network Smart Camera you will be able to both optimize and customize your image and video processing algorithms using the flexibility and computing power that a processor with floating point unit combined with a FPGA can give.

Thanks to the FPGA you can make real-time processing of images and video in this camera. In-system programming allows you to change the functionality of the camera without reflasing remotely over the network.

Since the camera runs GNU/Linux as the OS, you don't need to buy development kits. We deliver it ready and with the tools you'll need to use it and program it.
