2. Introduction
ARTCAM-L1024TNIR Series is a Near-infrared camera, which adopts InGaAs (Indium Gallium
Arsenide) Linear Image Sensor and has high sensitivity to the wavelength band from 900nm to 1700nm
Adopting USB3.0 interface, thus enables direct data transfer to PC without a capture board or a host
adapter card.
Also, since this series of cameras are equipped with onboard memories, it can avoid data missing and
achieve complete bulk transfer.
3. Features
⚫NIR Detection with High Sensitivity
The adopted InGaAs Image Sensor has high sensitivity to the wavelength band from 900nm to 1700nm.
Therefore, it is able to detect beyond the visible light region and visualizing things that are difficult to
be seen by naked eyes or common CCD / CMOS cameras.
⚫USB3.0 Interface
Adopting USB3.0 interface, thus enables direct data transfer to PC without a capture board or a host
adapter card.
4. The Product
1) Camera
2) USB3.0 cable (USB3.0 A –micro B Type 3.0m)
3) AC adapter (DC12V)
4) Viewer software and Device driver CD
<Option>

6.2. Optional Functions
6.2.1. Trigger Shooting (optional)
External trigger function may be available based on your order options.
This camera has an external trigger electronic circuit, which is insulated by a photocoupler, and thus
enables synchronized shooting by the input signal received from the external circuit.
※The connector pin and pin assignment may be changed.
6.2.2. External Output Function
External output function may be available based on your order options.
It is possible to output and monitor the vertical synchronization, horizontal synchronization and the
exposure time, which are controlled inside the FPGA.
※The connector pin and pin assignment may be changed.

9. System Requirements
9.1. Recommended System Requirements
●Host Controller
This camera is applicable to USB 3.0.
Connecting to USB 2.0 host controller may cause low-speed or failure to function properly.
●CPU The driver of this camera is applicable to computer architecture “x86”or “amd64”.
The specification of CPU effects directly the imaging process speed, therefore it is highly
recommended to utilize a high-end CPU if possible.
●Memory
In the viewer software, there is a data buffer which can store 4 to 8 frames.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep spare space at least for 8 frames in the memory.
(For example, when using 1.3MP color camera, 1280 x 1024 x 3 x 8 [byte] = 30[MB] is
necessary.)
It is highly recommended to keep enough memory space especially when using high resolution
camera.
●OS This camera is applicable only to the architecture of Windows NT (32bit/64bit).
Standard functions are confirmed with OS after Windows 7.
In addition, it is recommended to use Windows 10.
Caution
■Please refer the restrictions below when you use ARTCAM series.
(1) Recommended System Requirements
If the system specifications do not meet the requirements recommended above, it may be difficult to
run at the maximum frame rate.
(2) Use of other USB3.0 Hardware
The data on our camera/converter is transferred in bulk mode. For this reason, when using our
camera/converter, please avoid using other bulk transferred USB3.0 hardware such as Memory stick,
External HDD, External DVD, CDROM etc.
As a solution, we recommend installing a PCI USB host card to the PC and connect external USB
hardware to this port only.
(3) USB3.0 Cable Extension
We cannot guarantee the functionality of the USB3.0 camera if the user adopts USB3.0 extension
cables or repeaters which are not confirmed by us. With the extension cables or repeaters, the
bandwidth of transfer may differ, and thus caused malfunctions such as a low frame rate or recognition
failure on the camera.
What may cause the problem is that the regulation of the power lines becomes not enough, and so
causes impudence mismatch on data signals.
*For the recommended extension cable, please contact our sales department.
