Key Features
e-con Systems' Advanced Farming Cameras are packed with features designed to meet the unique challenges of modern agriculture. High-resolution imaging, up to 20MP, provides the level of detail needed for accurate weed and bug detection, as well as comprehensive crop health monitoring. This level of detail enables farmers to identify issues early on, before they can impact yields.
NIR sensitivity is another key feature, allowing for the assessment of vegetation health through advanced imaging techniques. By analyzing the NIR spectrum, farmers can detect subtle changes in plant health that are not visible to the naked eye. This allows for early detection of diseases and optimization of resource allocation, ensuring that crops receive the nutrients and water they need to thrive.
HDR and LFM ensure clear imagery in varying and challenging lighting conditions. This is particularly important in outdoor environments, where lighting conditions can change rapidly throughout the day. With HDR and LFM, farmers can be confident that they are getting clear, accurate images, regardless of the lighting conditions.
Furthermore, the rugged design, with IP67 and IP69K rated options, ensures durability and reliability in harsh outdoor conditions. These cameras are built to withstand dust, moisture, and high-pressure wash-downs, making them ideal for use in demanding agricultural environments. The GMSL2 interface allows video data transmission up to 15 meters, ensuring seamless connectivity and data transmission across large agricultural lands.
