Easy uEye+ camera integration in HALCON using IDS peak

Area scan cameras

This video explains how to seamlessly integrate IDS uEye+ cameras into HALCON using IDS peak, covering both USB3 vision and GigE vision setups. It demonstrates how to select the correct acquisition interfaces, install the right drivers, and enable advanced IDS‑specific features such as network reconnect.

You’ll learn how GenICam producers and consumers work together, how to access standard and vendor‑specific parameters, and how to switch between different transport layers. The video also provides clear, practical examples using live camera connections, showing how IDS peak enhances functionality, stability and workflow efficiency in HALCON.
