Alecs is Allied Vision's open smart camera platform, combining high-quality image acquisition with on-board AI processing in a single, compact IP67-rated housing. It integrates Allied Vision's proven Alvium camera platform with an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX 16 GB system-on-module, enabling users to develop and deploy intelligent vision applications — such as object detection, classification, and anomaly detection — directly on the camera without external compute hardware.
