Reliable monitoring and inspection are essential for automating processes in medical technology. Advanced camera systems with high-performance sensors capture critical details around the clock, delivering high-quality imaging even in challenging clinical or laboratory environments. With its monitoring solutions, IDS offers an industry-tailored, stand-alone system that enables seamless integration for continuous 24/7 visualisation and documentation of medical and laboratory workflows.

For cameras in medical devices, long-term hardware and software availability is a must. At IDS, we go further – offering tailored solutions to meet your exact needs. From custom housing designs with your branding to hardware modifications (including connectors and fully custom PCB layouts) and bespoke software configurations, our expert CSS team delivers reliable, medical-grade solutions that fit seamlessly into your application.

AI-powered image processing can greatly enhance and automate medical workflows — from detecting anomalies to recognizing complex patterns. 

IDS NXT is a complete AI vision system, combining intelligent cameras with the intuitive IDS lighthouse software. It simplifies every step, from image capture to deployment, making AI-based image analysis accessible even without expert knowledge. Ideal for medical and laboratory applications.

The IDS NXT malibu represents a new class of intelligent edge cameras designed for medical applications. Developed in collaboration with visual AI leader Ambarella, it brings advanced image processing and real-time AI analysis into clinical environments. Powered by Ambarella’s CVflow® SoC, the camera delivers high-speed image interpretation (>25 fps) and overlays diagnostic insights directly onto live video streams via RTSP—ideal for use in endoscopy, surgical documentation, or AI-assisted diagnostics.

Unlike conventional cameras that capture full megapixel images, the uEye EVS is designed to detect only dynamic changes at the pixel level. It registers movement in real time by identifying contrast variations, while ignoring static information entirely. This event-based approach significantly reduces data load and is ideal for medical applications where detecting motion—such as subtle movements during rehabilitation or rapid changes in lab processes—is crucial.

With the Ensenso 3D cameras, IDS offers a solution for 3D image processing that is not only impressive in terms of precision, but also in terms of cost-effectiveness and speed.
Ensenso 3D cameras are used, for example, for precise patient positioning during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) examinations or radiotherapy. 3D image processing also helps in orthopaedic applications and services, e.g. for measuring feet to produce custom-fit insoles and splints or for precise measurement of the back.

3D redefined – IDS enters iToF. At its core: the ‘AF0130’ from onsemi. Thanks to integrated data processing, the sensor generates 3D measurement data with the highest precision and speed.

From the industrial-grade webcam alternative to the ultra-fast 10 GigE industrial cameras to the individual board level camera. uEye stands for versatile, easy-to-use USB and GigE industrial cameras with a wide selection of CMOS sensors and variants. The combination of first-class quality “Made in Germany”, long-term availability and high user-friendliness makes the industrial cameras unique.
