Prosilica GC GigE Vision Cameras used by research team of New Jersey Institute of Technology to assess population of endangered fish species in coral reefs.
Recent studies have shown that a third of the worldâ s coral reef-building species are facing extinction. According to researchers, climate change, coastal development, overfishing, and pollution are the major threats. It is strongly believed that threats to this particular ecosystem could also endanger the various species of fish which live their entire lives on reefs or those who use them as nurseries.

Board Cameras
Board cameras, a.k.a. PCB cameras, are video cameras with image sensors mounted directly onto circuit boards. These devices are favored for their flexibility and comprehensiveness with a small footprint. These cameras are prominent in mobile devices and CCTV security systems.
High Speed Cameras
High speed cameras are video cameras manufactured with an emphasis on extreme frame rates. This allows for the slow-motion analysis of fleeting details and motion that would not be observable with a standard video camera. These cameras find their most meaningful use in scientific and industrial settings.
CCD Cameras
CCD (couple-charged device) cameras are a type of image capture device that utilize an image sensor to register visible light as a recordable electronic signal to visually archive captured stills and video. Of the three types of digital cameras (the others being CMOS and CID), CCD cameras are the most developed and commonly used.
CMOS Cameras
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually.
Video Cameras
Video cameras record live-action scenes that are available for viewing via a stored or transmitted video feed. This allows the user to create a permanent and detailed chronicle of events. Video cameras record dozens of pictures (or frames) a second that when viewed in succession, clearly distinguish the translation of an object or person over time.
