Hi Mark, 

Thank you for recommendation, however, we have tried using BFLY-PGE-13S2M-CS with adSpinnaker on Ubuntu 16 and FL3-GE-13S2M-CS with adPontGrey on Centos 7 but both of them "freeze" after running smoothly for some time. They become unresponsive and an IOC reboot is required in some cases even power cycle of the camera.  We're running them at toughly 1 Hz so they should get overworked.

At this stage we're looking at potential alternatives or any kind of advice if someone has had similar experience with those cameras?

Cheers,
Andraz

Hi Andraz,

The Point Grey Blackfly cameras will meet your specifications:

https://www.ptgrey.com/blackfly-gige-poe-cameras

Here are 2 examples:

BFLY-PGE-13S2M-CS

1/3 inch, global shutter, 1288x964 pixels

3.75 micron pixels
66% QE, 11 e- read noise, 9339 e- full well
58 dB dynamic range
30 FPS
POE
$345

The following model has significantly better QE, read noise, and dynamic range in a somewhat larger format:

BFLY-PGE-23S6M-C
1/1.2" sensor, global shutter, 1920x1200 pixels
5.86 micron pixels
80% QE, 7 e- read noise, 33105 e- full well
73 dB dynamic range
41 FPS
POE
$495

Either camera can be used with 3 areaDetector drivers:

ADPointGrey (Windows, Linux RHEL 7 or higher) aravisGigE (Linux, most any version) ADSpinnaker (Windows, Linux Ubuntu 16 and higher)

Mark

Hi all,

We're looking into replacing our old Firewire cameras with Ethernet ones and we'd be interested in any suggestions and experiences you have had with different camera models.

Some requirements:

-          1/3 inch, global shutter, mono sensor at roughly 1300 x 900 resolution

-          Good quantum efficiency and low noise

-          Roughly 4 microns pixel size

-          Ethernet

-          Preferably POE

-          areaDetector support

Cheers,

Andraz Pozar
