Omron Sentech STC-BCS213POE-BC – 2.1MP GigE PoE Board Camera (C-Mount)

Engineered for embedded performance, the Omron Sentech STC-BCS213GE-BL-NIR combines a 2.1-megapixel sensor with enhanced near-infrared (NIR) response to deliver crisp images where conventional visible-only cameras struggle. Under IR illumination, surfaces with low visible contrast become far easier to detect and measure, enabling stable inspection, metrology, code reading, and robot guidance in factories and labs.

Its board-level (BL) form factor fits tight spaces and custom enclosures, while the GigE (GigE Vision) interface provides robust bandwidth, long cable lengths, and compatibility with off-the-shelf networking gear and vision software stacks. Standard Ethernet simplifies deployment across stations and cells without exotic cabling.

Designed for OEMs and system integrators, the STC-BCS213GE-BL-NIR supports deterministic capture and straightforward integration with common SDKs, triggers, and I/O. Choose appropriate NIR illumination and optics to match your working distance and field of view; the compact design supports flexible mechanical mounting inside instruments or on motion stages.

Key Features:

• NIR-Optimized Imaging – Enhanced sensitivity in the near-infrared band for better contrast under IR illumination.
• 2.1 MP Resolution – Crisp detail for inspection, measurement, and robotic guidance.
• GigE / GigE Vision Interface – Standard Ethernet connectivity, long cable runs (up to 100 m on CAT5e/6), GenICam-compatible.
• Board-Level Form Factor (BL) – Compact PCB design for embedded/OEM integration and custom enclosures.
• High-Throughput Capture – Stable streaming suitable for production lines and measurement tasks.
• External DC Power (Non-PoE) – Flexible power design for embedded systems that don’t require PoE.
• Integration-Ready – Works with common machine-vision SDKs and software; supports standard network configurations.
• System Flexibility – Choose optics, illumination, and mounting to match your working distance and field of view.
• Industrial Reliability – Designed for continuous operation in automated environments.
• Application Versatility – Ideal for IR-lit inspection, metrology, code reading, and robot guidance.
