The dart camera series
While the dart Classic, dart R, and dart E camera families feature different sensors and interfaces (including USB 3.0 and BCON for MIPI based on MIPI CSI-2), they are all well-suited to a wide range of factory-related tasks. The dart E models are specially designed for embedded applications.

dart Classic
The dart Classic camera models were the first family available as bare board variants with a footprint of only 27 mm x 27 mm. This small design can be found in all subsequent dart camera families.
With proven CMOS sensors from onsemi and e2V
Available as bare board option, with S- or CS-mounts
With USB 3.0 interface
Backward compatible with USB 2.0

dart R
With the introduction of new CMOS sensors and improved features, the dart camera series continued to evolve. The dart R models feature optimized hardware, firmware, and sensor technology.
With Sony CMOS sensors from the Pregius S, Pregius, and Starvis series
High-speed models available with up to 523 fps
Available as bare board option, with S- or CS-mounts
With USB 3.0 interface

dart E
The dart E camera family features a BCON for MIPI interface, offers lean image processing, and provides the possibility for additional customization on the customer side.
With onsemi CMOS sensors with rolling shutter
Available as bare board or with S-mount
With Basler's embedded BCON for MIPI interface, based on MIPI CSI-2
Optional internal image signal processor (ISP)
Compatible with embedded processing platforms from NXP® and NVIDIA®
Most cost-effective models within the dart camera series
Wide selection of models for various applications
The diverse options for mounting, interfaces, and sensors, combined with the ease of use in embedded vision systems, makes the dart camera series perfect for a wide range of applications. These cameras are the right choice for factory automation, robotics, medical & life sciences, embedded applications, and many more.
dart camera as a bare board variant or with mount
For maximum flexibility in system setup, the dart camera is available as a bare board variant without a lens mount. It then measures only 27 mm x 27 mm with a weight of just 5 g. The board level camera is also available with a housing. It can be purchased with a S-mount or CS-mount and then measures 29 mm x 29 mm with a weight of 15 g.

dart camera with USB 3.0 or BCON for MIPI interface
The dart camera stands for flexibility in many respects, including the interface. Depending on your system requirements, choose between a USB 3.0 interface or a BCON for MIPI interface based on MIPI CSI-2.

dart camera as an embedded vision system component
Coordinated vision components enable fast prototyping. Looking to test the dart camera in an embedded system? You can use the Basler Embedded Vision Kits to create your prototype. Already have your own embedded vision project in mind? We also offer consulting, development, and production services for your individual embedded vision design.
