Omron Sentech STC-BCS213GE-BC-NIR – 2.1MP NIR GigE C-Mount Camera

The Omron Sentech STC-BCS213GE-BC-NIR is a 2.1MP NIR-optimized GigE machine-vision camera in an enclosed C-mount form factor. Enhanced near-infrared sensitivity delivers stronger contrast under 850/940 nm illumination, improving feature detection for inspection, measurement, and robotics. The GigE (GigE Vision) interface supports long cable runs on standard Ethernet and integrates cleanly with GenICam-compatible software and SDKs. With an industrial housing and flexible external DC power (non-PoE), it’s a solid choice for OEM and factory deployments that require reliable throughput, easy servicing, and broad lens compatibility.

Key Features:

• NIR-Optimized Imaging – Enhanced sensitivity in the near-infrared band (e.g., 850/940 nm) for higher contrast under IR lighting.
• 2.1 MP Resolution – Suitable for inspection, metrology, code reading, and robotic guidance.
• GigE / GigE Vision Interface – Standard Ethernet connectivity; GenICam-compatible for broad software support.
• Enclosed C-Mount Housing (BC) – Robust body with industry-standard C-mount lens compatibility and secure mounting.
• External DC Power (non-PoE) – Flexible power design for OEM and factory deployments.
• Long Cable Runs – Up to ~100 m over CAT5e/CAT6 for easy cell and station layout.
• Integration-Ready – Works with common vision SDKs; straightforward network setup and streaming.
• I/O for Automation – Trigger and strobe control* for synchronized imaging.
• Industrial Reliability – Built for continuous operation in automated environments.
• NIR Use Cases – IR-lit inspection, label/print verification, material/surface contrast enhancement, and robotics.
