Remarks

Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with cameras using their vendor's SDK. In order to connect with the camera, it is required to install IDS SDK software.

IDS SDK can be downloaded from the following website: https://en.ids-imaging.com/downloads.html

To verify the driver installation, you can run IDS Camera Manager. If the camera was detected and you can see the view from the camera, you can use IDS SDK in Aurora Vision Studio.

Recommended IDS SDK version for Aurora Vision Studio usage is 4.96.1.

Camera identification

When there is only one IDS camera connected, the field inDeviceID can be set to Auto. In this situation, the first available camera will be used.

inDeviceID can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to the computer. inDeviceID should be set to device serial number or user definable camera ID.
