Notes and confidence

• Industrial Vision Systems lists the IVS camera family as rugged, self‑contained machine‑vision camera heads designed for industrial inspection and multi‑head systems. The IV‑BWCAM2 is a compact B/W camera head in that family. .
• Distributor product listings show comparable B/W camera heads (e.g., Costar SI‑M400 series) with 1/2" CCD, ~470 TVL, 0.3 lux (F1.2) sensitivity and 12 VDC power; these values are consistent with typical IV‑BWCAM2 listings but may vary by exact submodel or production revision. .
• Exact numeric specs (precise TV lines, S/N ratio, sync format, connector pinout, mechanical drawing, and part‑specific ordering options) are not fully published in the short vendor snippets; for installation, integration, or procurement you should confirm the official IVS datasheet or the product page for the IV‑BWCAM2. .
