1. Document History
2. Overview
2.1. The Videology USB Camera Family
Videology USB Cameras provide a quick and easy means of displaying and capturing high quality video
and images on any USB 2.0 equipped desktop or laptop computer running a supported Microsoft®OS.
Designed with flexibility in mind, each camera model has its own distinct advantage, whether speed,
resolution, image quality, sensitivity or price. Because they are USB based, there is no need for a frame
grabber. Instead, a single USB cable provides power, video frames, control and data transfer.
All cameras share the same simple, powerful API allowing easy migration from one camera to
another.
SDKs are available for OEMs (for an additional fee).
Housings: Mechanical design options can be quoted for OEMs
This fixed lens camera family can utilize any CS mount lens. The lens may be changed out for a more
optimal focal length. Varifocal lenses allow a wider range of focal lengths within one lens.
Note: Use a Megapixel lens with the Megapixel 24C7.38USB camera in order to maintain the full
resolution.
2.2. Contents
This camera package has two CDs in it.
1. SFT-07019-WHQL (WDM device drivers are Microsoft®digitally certified)
oor SFT-07019 (Videology Viewer software and USB drivers)
2. SFT-10011 (TWAIN data source)
To check for updated software, please go to www.videologyinc.com/download.htm
The Videology viewer (SFT-07019-WHQL) can operate this camera family without a need for any third
party software. It will auto recognize which camera is plugged in and show the corresponding controls and
features for that camera.
Note: All cameras stream video and have a still capture mode.
Many users wish to utilize a Photo ID card software management platform. In this case a separate TWAIN
driver is needed (SFT-10011). ALL third party software packages allow a camera to be recognized thru
their TWAIN (or Scanner) drop down camera source choices. This TWAIN interface is recommended as the
primary method to integrate with the Videology camera.
If the software photo ID management program has a standards based DirectShow compliant interface, the
camera will work with that interface. However, we have found many third party software platforms do not
conform to DirectShow on all operating systems.

4. Mounting Method
The cameras (20K758USB and 24C7.38USB)are fitted with a ¼-twenty screw thread so that any
common tripod can be used.
The 20K758USB-SYS has a unique stand
that integrates the camera with a stand that
can withstand a 40 degree tilt and still
stabilize upright. The camera cannot
dissemble from the stand, as it is totally
integrated with cabling that threads within
the assembly.
The cable neatly emerges from the base of
the stand (eliminating the potential to
entwine around a tripod’s legs or to pull the
camera down if accidentally twisted).
Tabs are provided to attach the base of the
stand to a table, thereby fully immobilizing
the stand.
