WTB Industrial Cameras

[CM800]

Hello All,

I'm interested in experimenting with OpenCV,

I'd like to get a good camera to do some demos of tracking balls with a laser pointer.

If anyone has a good, reasonably high framerate camera, I would be very interested... 60fps or greater. with Ethernet connection (GBit)


I am also looking at an option of buying 4 of these (bulk lot)

Would anyone be interested in buying 2-3 of them off me at £200-£220 each (Includes lenses & PSUs from said kit)

Your two options are:
1) Something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-Used-Basler-acA640-90gm-Camera/172697622881
2) A good, new machine vision camera. If you have money to blow, I highly recommend the Ximea MQ series. It's a USB3 camera that produces 2048x1088 @ 160+ fps, raw.
It's a very expensive camera, but I have an MQ022CG-CM and I can say it produces nearly cinematic images if lit properly. The support and SDK are wonderful too.

Well, I'm doing this out of my own pocket as of now, so I haven't got that much spare.

I was looking at that camera, I don't like the idea of importing due to the taxes that will be added on ._.

If Gige is not absolutely necessary, the arducam cameras could be another cheap option for you.
Not sure how good the sdk is, however. It may requires more work to get it working than for an industrial camera.
