Video cameras take continuous pictures and generate signals for display or recording. They capture images by breaking them down into a series of lines. This search form does not include consumer devices such as camcorders

Charge coupled device (CCD) cameras contain light-sensitive silicon chips that detect electrons excited by incoming light. They also contain micro circuitry that transfers a detected signal along a row of discrete picture elements or pixels, scanning the image very rapidly. CCD cameras use two-dimensional CCD arrays with many thousand of pixels

Video camera lenses attach to video cameras for use in machine vision, quality monitoring, security, and remote monitoring for industrial and commercial operations. This search form does not cover consumer video camera lenses. 

Access control, security and biometrics equipment is used to monitor and restrict access to equipment, parts of buildings, or entire facilities

Low light cameras are designed for low light applications. They contain sensors that are highly sensitive to light and reduce images to a series of lines

High speed cameras are designed for rapid image acquisition for scientific or industrial analysis of rapidly changing or moving processes

Thermal imagers detect heat patterns in the infrared wavelength (1 micron to 100 micron) spectrum.

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually. 

Charge injection device (CID) cameras are used in analytical instrumentation, industrial machine vision, medical, scientific and aerospace applications

Vision sensors are machine vision video cameras with integrated signal processing and imaging electronics. They typically include program and data interfaces

Closed circuit TV (CCTV) is used for area surveillance and remote monitoring. Some systems can record events and trigger alarms.

Machine vision systems are used for automated inspection and measurement in production environments.

Perimeter guards are guardrails and security fences as well as safety devices that produce sound waves when a given perimeter is breached

Frame grabbers are image processing computer boards that capture and store image data for industrial applications such as quality control.

Digital video recorders record and store video camera output in digital form on disk
