Please note: The technical data given here was measured using the IDS Software Suite.
The UI-5280FA ethernet industrial camera is equipped with an IMX264 2/3" global shutter CMOS sensor and meets the most demanding requirements in terms of light sensitivity and dynamic range, while simultaneously offering very low dark noise. The high NIR sensitivity makes the invisible visible to the human eye and renders a special NIR sensor version obsolete. It delivers high-contrast 5 megapixel images in 5:4 format with a frame rate of 22.0 fps.
Special functions such as 30 second long exposures and a line scan mode implemented by IDS extend the range of applications in the factory automation environment. Available in monochrome or color versions.

Strong and robust: The uEye FA is particularly robust and therefore ideally suited for use in demanding environments such as factory automation. Camera housings, lens tubes and screwable connectors (8-pin M12 connector with X-coding and 8-pin Binder connector) meet the requirements of protection class IP65/67. This means that the models can withstand even the harshest industrial environments.
They are also especially suitable for multi-camera operation: an integrated image memory decouples image acquisition from image transmission.
Camera-internal functions such as pixel pre-processing, LUT or Gamma reduce the required computing power to a minimum.
The extensive accessories, such as lens tubes and drag chain cables, are just as tough. The cameras are also designed for large format sensors and are typically used for machine vision tasks in industrial plants and quality assurance.
Especially tough!
Particularly sturdy thanks to IP65/67
The industrial cameras meet protection class IP65/67 and are therefore optimally protected against dirt, dust and water splashes.
Maximum GigE transfer rate!
Single cable operation up to 100 m
The uEye FA cameras can be operated either with 12-24 V or alternatively via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). PoE enables practical single-cable operation up to a maximum length of 100m.
It's so easy!
Plug & Play principle
The cameras are automatically detected in the system and are immediately ready for use. Buy a camera, connect it, receive an image - it couldn't be easier!

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 and will then be continuously expanded. The new USB 3 models are ingeniously supported by our Software Development Kit IDS peak.
Due to the prolonged delivery times for our existing cameras, which can continue to be ordered, we are however only offering the newly developed 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.
