When a door is opened), Master Image Comparison, or from a Hardware trigger signal (whether from a sensor, plc, or other external source).

The Omron Factory Drive Recorder is compatible with the M Series GigE Vision, B Series GigE Vision, M Series USB3 Vision, & UVC Omron industrial cameras. These cameras feature resolutions from 0.4 to 20 MP, and frame rates as high as 527 FPS, including a multitude of high end Sony Pregius sensors with Global Shutter.
