The USB 3 board level camera UI-3881LE AF has a separate board for controlling liquid lens lenses, so that the focus can be conveniently adjusted per software via the camera. The practical autofocus ensures perfectly sharp images. It also features the IMX178 1/1.8" rolling shutter CMOS sensor from the Sony STARVIS series and provides 6.41 MPix (3088 x 2076 px) resolution at frame rates up to 58.0 fps. In addition to its high resolution, this sensor scores with speed and sensitivity, so that excellent images are achieved even under low-light conditions.
The UI-3881LE AF with S-mount has a twist-proof USB Type-C connector and USB power delivery and can be easily integrated into embedded systems. This makes it perfect for small equipment construction, classic machine vision applications and tasks in the fields of microscopy, medical technology, metrology and traffic monitoring.

USB 3 uEye LE AF board cameras with S-Mount or CS-/C-Mount are suitable for the use and control of liquid lens lenses and offer a practical autofocus function. This enables optimally focused images at variable object distances. The automatic system is based on the "active" liquid lens control of these camera models and can be simply activated by a software trigger. Depending on the application, the autofocus can be individually configured and ensures perfectly sharp images in no time.
The affordable uEye LE industrial cameras feature a USB Type-C port and practical USB Power Delivery. This makes it possible to offer a variable peripheral power supply at the I/O port.
The board level cameras are particularly suitable for logistics systems (e.g. for package acceptance and sorting), for microscopy and traffic monitoring and for installation in small medical or industrial devices.
Especially practical!
USB Power Delivery
For the uEye LE AF industrial camera with USB Power Delivery, IDS offers a variable power supply at the I/O port that can be used to power an LED illumination or a light barrier. This saves cables and power supplies and therefore time and money.
Easy to focus!
Thanks to practical autofocus function
Perfectly sharp images, even with changing object distances or if the lens cannot be reached manually - this is what the autofocus function of the uEye LE AF cameras makes possible.
Fits everywhere!
Compact and space-saving
The board level cameras (36 x 36 x 20 mm) can be installed in the smallest space due to their compact design and are therefore e.g. suitable for embedded systems.

New USB 3 camera technology platform
Due to the worldwide semiconductor shortage with the resulting significant delivery delays, we have developed a new USB3 camera technology platform in the uEye+ product line (match code U3) with identical housings, connectors, sensors, lens holders and features. Electronic components are in stock, prototypes for design-ins for many models are available. Series production of the new USB 3 camera revisions is being established or has already started and will then be continuously expanded. The new USB 3 models are ingeniously supported by our Software Development Kit IDS peak. Our camera finder gives you the life cycle of each camera model so that you can take this criterion into account in your camera selection.
Due to the prolonged delivery times for our existing cameras with USB 3 interface, which can continue to be ordered, we are however only offering the newly developed and ready-to-order hardware revisions on our website. You can identify these by the revision number "Rev. x.2".
As an existing IDS customer, please contact our sales team for further information.
