In Roland Consult Systems, we use or have used various camera types by different manufactures. All of the types still in field use, we have to support our customers. This article should help with the main techniques and problems.
Overview
- IDS – most common used and stable in all Windows Version; more expensive then others; must in V10
- Hercules – supported only on old Win XP/ Win 7 32bit systems; will likely crash on newer Mainboards and often with Win 10
- Labtec – all Win Versions
- Speedlink – replacement of Hercules, also works on all Windows Versions
- (generic) USB Cameras, analog BNC Cameras
