NI Smart Cameras are industrial, high-quality image sensors combined with powerful processors to create rugged, all-in-one solutions for machine vision applications. You can use these cameras for applications including quality control, packaging verification, robot guidance, optical character recognition, and 2D code reading. NI Smart Cameras integrate easily with programmable automation controllers (PACs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial human machine interfaces (HMIs). They are shipped with NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) configurable machine vision software, which requires no programming.

With the National Instruments machine vision software approach, you can configure your inspection with the easy-to-use, stand-alone NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software (included with NI Smart Cameras) or program it for more advanced customization using the NI Vision Development Module. Both options feature hundreds of built-in machine vision and image processing functions you can use to enhance images, check for presence, locate features, identify objects, and measure parts. The deterministic real-time operating system (RTOS) offers increased reliability for inspection systems that require long-term, continuous operation.

NI Smart Cameras include the following:
-NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (full-featured for NI Smart Cameras and NI vision real-time target emulation only)
-NI Vision Development Module Deployment License
-NI Vision Builder AI Deployment License

Note: LabVIEW, NI Vision Development Module, and LabVIEW Real-Time Module for development must be purchased separately.
