An autofocus-zoom camera, or block camera, is a compact camera unit with integrated quality zoom optics, image sensor and processor. It is designed for easy integration into systems like drones, unmanned vehicles, surveillance devices and industrial or medical equipment. For embedded systems and space-limited applications, board cameras offer an even more compact option.
Active Silicon offers a range of autofocus-zoom block cameras and board cameras, including our own Harrier and Oriole products. Camera features include multiple output options, compact size, global shutter, powerful zoom and more.
