We recommend using a UVC camera when programming in a Linux environment.
In general, UVC cameras are recognized and easy to use on Linux without installing any drivers.
In addition, in combination with OpenCV, it is relatively easy to program.
However, UVC cameras may not be available for the following reasons:
・When long-distance wiring is required.
If you want to use a camera with a resolution that is not included in our industrial UVC camera lineup.
・ When it is difficult to distinguish the dropped frame.
・ If OpenCV does not have a white balance function (there is a solution).
・If you want to actively use camera functions that cannot be set by OpenCV (e.g., trigger delay setting, etc.).
In this case, you need to set up a driver for Linux for your industrial camera and make it available on Linux.
There are various derivatives of Linux. As a result, there are very few applications that work on all Linux distributions.
Our industrial cameras (CS/EG series) also do not provide drivers for all distributions.
You can check the Linux distributions that have been confirmed to work from the following.
You can also borrow a camera, so download the driver and check the operation (SDK is also included).
In addition, even if it is a distribution that has been confirmed by us, please check the operation.
