Camera + Image Capture
Connectors
About
Provides live video capture from USB or network cameras using OpenCV and runs object detection inference. Designed for laboratory process monitoring, colour change detection and vial/rack localisation. Outputs bounding-box JSON per frame. (YOLO and Ultralytics are not used due to incompatible license). The Paramus connector wrapper is MIT licensed.
Key Features
- USB and IP camera capture (OpenCV)
- Detection, segmentation, classification
- JSON bounding-box output per frame
- Configurable confidence threshold and model weights
AGPL-3.0: commercial use requires an Ultralytics Enterprise license.
