Abstract
With the increase in performance and decrease in cost, smart cameras have become increasingly more accessible over the past decade. Given this trend, how do you determine which smart camera best meets your needs or decide if a smart camera is appropriate for your application? Learn about the top eight considerations you do not want to forget when selecting a smart camera, including application examples and alternative solutions.
