We start February with a new version of our uEye GigE LE single-board camera. It now runs standard-compliant under IDS peak and is available with a daughterboard and initially with the Sony Starvis 2 IMX622 sensor.
Our Vision Channel session of the month introduces you to the secrets of event-based imaging. If you want to discover this pioneering sensor technology for yourself and your application in advance, take a look - and reserve of our new USB3 uEye EVS camera right away.

The new GigE uEye+ LE hardware revision closes a gap for machine and device manufacturers with cost-optimized GigE Vision-compliant single-board cameras with modern sensor technology to enable competitive high-volume projects.
The newly designed lens carrier construction now protects the entire electronics and provides a lightweight yet rigid mount for C- or S-mount lenses. It will also be available as a pure board camera without a lens mount, if you want to integrate your own optics.
The use of the compatible RJ45 interface board, which is connected to the baseboard variant via a small plug connector and a flexible cable, allows even more flexibility in customized housing concepts. This makes it easier to arrange sensor and connector components in the available packaging space.
We are launching the series with the well-known 1/3’ rolling shutter Sony IMX662 sensor with Starvis 2 technology, which now also delivers exceptional image quality with a particularly high dynamic range in the price-optimized network camera portfolio. The camera series will be constantly expanded with additional models and sensors. |

High resolution, many versions |
|

We are expanding the uEye+ XLE camera series with USB3 interface: the 19.8 MP AR2020 sensor from onsemi impresses with 5K UHD (5136 x 3856 pixels). The 1/1.8” rolling shutter sensor (4:3 aspect ratio) can capture even the finest details, for example in surface inspection.
The sensor is not only available in color, but also in a monochrome version. This makes it particularly interesting for low-light applications in industrial applications or for use in microscopy, where even greater sensitivity is required.
The USB3 Vision compliant camera is available with either a housing with C-/CS- or S-mount or as a board-level version with or without a C-/CS- or S-mount lens holder. The board level versions are also available with upright (-VU) or horizontal USB Type-C orientation. |

| IDS responds to market situation with a strategic portfolio realignment |
|
With innovations through the crisis |
|
|
The VDMA (Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association) forecasts a nominal 10 per cent decline in sales for the German machine vision industry in 2025 compared to the previous year. However, there are opportunities in new markets such as logistics, medical technology and intelligent transport systems. IDS is expanding its portfolio accordingly.
‘The past year has brought its challenges, but we have used this time to regroup and work on some exciting projects,’ explains Jan Hartmann - Managing Partner. IDS plans to launch a series of innovations throughout 2025. The first models of the uEye Live camera series for live streaming, industrial process monitoring and recording video sequences in camera’s memory are already available to order. Event-based cameras for highly efficient motion analysis will follow. IDS will also expand its 3D portfolio with a proprietary time-of-flight camera.
In addition, our experienced engineering team has a particular focus on customer-specific developments. These range from our own designs and special software adaptations to tailor-made modular solutions. |

Vision Channel: ‘Event-based imaging - increased speed, less data’ |
|
|
Event-based imaging is one of the most ground-breaking innovations in the field of machine vision since the advent of artificial intelligence in this area. It enables the efficient optical acquisition of motion with nearly seamless temporal resolution. This opens up completely new possibilities for industrial and non-industrial applications, such as the optical monitoring of vibrations with 1-pixel accuracy or high-speed motion analysis of the smallest objects.
In our Vision Channel presentation, we will explain the functional principle and application areas of the new event-based IDS camera ‘uEye EVS’ with Sony IMX636 sensor, which was developed in collaboration with Prophesee.
