An autofocus-zoom camera, or block camera, is a compact, modular zoom camera unit with integrated optics and image sensors, designed for easy integration into larger systems like drones, surveillance devices, or industrial 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.
