Arducam ezBOX HDR - 4K HDR AutoFocus USB 2.0 UVC Camera

The Arducam ezBOX HDR is an autofocus USB 2.0 UVC camera that excels in delivering exceptional dynamic range with its SONY 4K HDR sensor, featuring 8.3MP resolution. It maximises the entire active sensor area, ensuring no pixel is wasted and delivering optimal image quality, and its ability to capture details in both bright and dark areas makes it perfect for industrial imaging, surveillance, and applications requiring high contrast.

The HDR functionality is supported across all resolution and frame rate combinations, providing consistent performance in diverse imaging scenarios. It offers sharper, more detailed images, making it a reliable choice for applications where precision and clarity are paramount.

As it's a UVC (USB Video Class) camera, it can work on a range of operating systems and hardware driver-free, such as Windows and Linux (including the Raspberry Pi). Comes with a USB JST cable.

Note: HDR note: HDR is disabled by default and requires the Low-light Compensation option to be enabled in the parameters GUI.
