Plug and Play simplicity, Cost Effectiveness, Mobility and a single cable make USB cameras an ideal choice for applications that require image capture and/or recording when there's little to no budget.

In today's economy people are cutting costs on every level from Executive to Warehouse operations. If you need a camera and do not have a large budget or any budget at all, look to USB cameras to see if they will meet your needs at a fraction of the cost of newer, faster interfaces including Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), FireWire (IEEE.1394) and CameraLink (CL).

Why industry professionals look at USB cameras because:

  • USB cameras are "plug n play", meaning plug the camera into the computer with a single cable and you are virtually ready to go.
  • USB cameras only use one USB cable versus cameras that require several cables (one for power, one for control, etc).
  • Extremely low power consumption
  • Small Form Factor
  • Mobility - since this camera can be hooked directly to the computer with only a cable it is easier to transport and operate via a laptop while you are on the road.

Microscopy applications - USB cameras help people's eyes by taking the image that is normally seen through the microscope and putting it up on a giant screen or tv for all to see.

Teaching Hospitals - Again, take the limited view of a captured image from a microscope and put it up for all students to see at the same time.

Several major manufacturers offer USB cameras in several different configurations depending on your particular applications.
