Used as an easy "drop in" replacement camera for existing analog imaging systems or for those looking soley for live video connected to an analog monitor, Sentech's STC-400HOL 1/2" Interlaced Monochrome CCD Camera is an inexpensive and ideal analog camera choice.

Used primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, analog cameras are all typically the same small size, they all incorporate EIA output and most run at 30FPS (frames per second). The similarities of analog cameras makes the replacement and compatibility of any of them a non-issue as most can be swapped out with eachother very easily.

Reasons why people don't quickly jump on the digital conversion bandwagon quite yet?

  • $$$$$$!
    • Depending on the application, a company's current analog imaging system could have been expensive at the time it was integrated into the application and converting to digital is essentially starting over, incurring large costs.

  • Software Compatibility Problems
    • Depending on the script used to write the software for the analog system, it most likely will not work with digital hardware, therefore new software must be written for a new digital system, becoming both time consuming and expensive.

Applications for Analog Cameras include but are not limited to: Machine Vision including, Inspection, Pick and Place Machines, Dispensing Machines, etc.

Digital technology is definitely great, but if you are looking for a "quick fix" to get an analog system back up and running as soon as possible with minimal cost, then these cameras still have a purpose.
