Alvium 1GigE and 5GigE cameras combine the advantages of the established GigE Vision standard with the robust features of the Alvium camera series. They are available in a broad spectral range that includes UV, visible, NIR, and SWIR, in color or monochrome with C-mount, CS-mount or S-mount (M12) mount options. The 5GigE interface provides higher bandwidth without sacrificing image quality, and is backward compatible with existing GigE applications.

Allied Vision Tech Alvium series GigE cameras are designed for use in highly demanding machine vision and embedded vision/imaging applications. Offering WVGA to 20.2MP resolution sensors from such manufacturers as ON Semi and Sony, with frame rates up to 281fps, all Alvium cameras are backed by one of the industry's most comprehensive SDKs (VIMBA Software Development Kit), 3 year warranty, and offer a wide variety of housing options, very compact size, very low power dissipation, and patented ALVIUM System on Chip (SoC), to perform image corrections and preprocessing tasks on the camera, thereby off-loading the host CPU from time-consuming tasks.
