Introducing the NEW Allied Vision ALECS Open Smart Camera Range

Multipix Imaging is excited to announce the addition of the Allied Vision ALECS Open Smart Camera range to our portfolio — a next-generation platform designed to empower developers, systems integrators, and vision engineers to deliver powerful, custom machine vision and AI solutions.

What Makes ALECS Special?

The ALECS Open Smart Camera redefines the concept of smart cameras by combining standardised, high-quality imaging hardware with an open, developer-friendly software platform — giving you maximum flexibility and performance for industrial vision applications.

At its core, ALECS integrates:

• Allied Vision’s proven Alvium camera platform, trusted for image quality, reliability, and future-proof performance.
• A powerful NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ System on Module (SoM) for on-board AI, machine learning, and advanced image processing.
• A Linux-based open software environment with a comprehensive Board Support Package (BSP) that enables you to develop and run your own custom applications directly on the device.

Open Platform, Unlimited Possibilities

Unlike traditional smart cameras with fixed, pre-packaged software, ALECS is an open smart camera — giving your team full control over what runs on the platform. Develop tailored applications for tasks such as:

• Object detection
• Classification and tracking
• Machine learning and deep learning workflows

This freedom lets you match the camera to your application requirements — without being limited by off-the-shelf software constraints.

Built-In Benefits for Vision Developers

The ALECS platform offers a compelling combination of performance and usability:

• Fast time-to-market with accelerated design-in and prototyping workflows.
• Industrial robustness — housed in an IP67-rated enclosure ideal for demanding environments.
• High computational power from NVIDIA Jetson Orin SoM, enabling sophisticated on-camera processing.
• Pre-installed support for Euresys Open eVision libraries, with a free trial to begin development immediately.
• Comprehensive Board Support Package including Linux and Vimba X-based support for safe camera states and reliable integration.

Flexible Model Options

Models in the ALECS range include:

• Alecs LXB-G1-510m/c — featuring a 5 MP Sony IMX548 sensor capable of 81 fps, ideal for high-speed and precision imaging tasks.
• Alecs LXB-G1-1242m/c — featuring a 12 MP Sony IMX545 sensor with 40 fps, delivering high-resolution performance for detailed inspection.

Both configurations pair robust imaging with powerful on-board processing, enabling comprehensive vision system design without external PCs.
