USB Cameras

The USB cameras (USB 3.1 Gen1) by FLIR provide some of the best price performance in the industry. They use highly sensitive, reliable sensors and come packed with many features. The Blackfly line is the world's smallest PoE camera and the Flea cameras are the world's smallest USB cameras.

As the official distributor for FLIR cameras, Eureca offers many options for further increasing performance through modifications. Thus, for example remove the cover glass of the sensor or replace it with a special filter. Similarly, a UV coating is possible in order to use the sensor in the ultraviolet spectral range. By cooling the sensor and/or the entire camera, the readout noise can be minimized. Due to the abundance of different models, it is not easy to say in general which of these options are possible or useful for a specific camera. Please contact us if you are interested and we will gladly advise you about the respective options.
