Expensive dedicated board is not required, general-purpose Ethernet cable can be used for the cable.
The connection port is also LAN port.
However, a power supply for driving the camera is necessary. (See “LAN port connecting GigE camera”)
The cable can be extended up to 100 m.
Because it is cheap and can communicate at high speed, it is a user-friendly camera that can construct an inexpensive image processing system.
The price is equivalent to USB cameras, but the feature of this product is the ability to extend the cable up to 100 meters. Additionally, it offers stable communication.
The initial setup (environment configuration) is slightly more complex than USB cameras, but once connected, the communication stability surpasses that of USB.
