uEye CP Compact and powerful - ideal for space-constrained applications

29 x 29 x 29 mm - ingenious, patented housing design in a compact sugar-cube format

The uEye CP stands for "Compact Power" and is the compact, high-performance powerhouse for industrial applications of all kinds. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 29 mm, it offers maximum functionality with high performance and reliability. Its innovative housing design is lightweight, robust and ideal for space-constrained applications, such as use in multi-camera systems or on robot arms.

GigE Vision standard

USB3 Vision standard

Power-Over-Ethernet (GigE)

Industry standard: 29 x 29 x 29 mm

3-year warranty

Image pre-processing in the camera

High speed, great flexibility

Our industrial camera in standard format is available with both Gigabit Ethernet and USB3 interfaces and supports the GigE Vision and USB3 Vision standards.

With GigE Vision, the uEye CP transmits at a speed of 1 Gbps over a cable length of up to 100 metres and can be supplied with power via PoE functionality (Power-over-Ethernet).

The plug & play principle applies to the uEye CP with USB connection: The cameras are automatically detected in the system and are ready for use immediately. Buy the camera, connect it, receive the image - it couldn't be easier. USB3 ensures transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps.

The practical, screwable 8-pin I/O connector enables a stable and reliable connection in demanding applications. It supports a real-time capable image trigger, synchronised flash signals, a serial communication interface and two GPIOs that can be switched as input and output.

Optimised for multi-camera operation

An integrated image memory decouples image recording from image transmission, making the industrial camera particularly suitable for use in multi-camera systems. This not only minimises the CPU load, but also ensures even more efficient processing of image data. Additional internal camera functions such as pixel pre-processing, LUT and gamma reduce the computing power to a minimum and thus enable smooth operation - even for more complex tasks.

Future-proof and energy-efficient

Thanks to its sophisticated technology and consistent focus on the latest and upcoming generations of high-performance CMOS sensors, the uEye CP is ideally equipped for future requirements. The standby mode reduces the power consumption in idle mode to a minimum and thus contributes to energy efficiency, making the industrial camera an environmentally friendly solution for long-term use.

“The uEye CP combines a compact 29 x 29 mm design with a robust metal housing, flexible connectivity and powerful CMOS sensors - perfect for versatile industrial applications.”

What customers say about uEye CP industrial cameras:

“We were looking for a camera that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of dynamic range, sensitivity and linearity. Nevertheless, it should be compact and within our budget. We found it at IDS. The UI-5270CP-C-HQ Rev.2 fulfilled all our requirements.”

— Gautier Dreyfus, Co-Founder & CEO of Forssea Robotics —

„As a convinced IDS customer for ten years now, I knew that this camera system was ideal for meeting these extreme optical and temporal requirements.“

— Dr.-Ing. Philipp Mattern, Mattern Engineering & Software Solutions —

“The excellent colour reproduction of the UI-3280CP-C-HQ and its high resolution of 5 MP were decisive factors for us in choosing the camera. At the same time, the model enabled a quick, uncomplicated integration into our system.”

— Romain Baude, Founder APREX Solutions —

“The quality of the image data convinced us. Even under rather unfavourable lighting conditions in press shops, the camera provides perfect source material for our inspection systems.”
