The Innova-1335CRA is a 13MP autofocus Gigabit Ethernet camera module built around the Onsemi AR1335 sensor. It is designed for medical imaging, diagnostic devices, and embedded vision platforms that benefit from long cable reach and single-cable Power over Ethernet installation.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2026 / Vadzo Imaging, leader in OEM Embedded Vision Solutions, today announces the positioning of the Innova-1335CRA 13MP Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet camera for Embedded Vision Deployments for Medical and Life Science applications . This is a 13MP GigE Camera built on the Onsemi AR1335 sensor with continuous autofocus, delivered over a Power over Ethernet connection for medical and embedded vision deployments.
The Cabling and Focus Limitation in Medical and Embedded Vision Deployments
Camera placement in a hospital exam room, a surgical suite, or a distributed embedded vision installation is rarely as simple as sitting on the camera right next to the host computer. USB and MIPI interfaces are reliable only over short distances, which forces integrators to route a separate power cable alongside a short data cable or add extension hardware that introduces its own reliability risk. An AR1335 GigE Camera avoids this constraint entirely by carrying power and data over the same standard network cable across a much longer run.
Fixed focus optics compound the problem in medical settings where the working distance between the camera and the patient or specimen changes from one exam to the next. An AR1335 Autofocus GigE Sensor removes that variable by adjusting lens position automatically, so the image stays sharp regardless of where the camera ends up being installed in the room.
Sensor and Interface Architecture Behind the Innova-1335CRA
The Innova-1335CRA is built around the Onsemi AR1335 GigE Camera sensor, a 1/3.2 inch Back-Side Illuminated CMOS device with a 1.1-micron pixel pitch that delivers full 13MP resolution at 4208 by 3120 pixels. As an AR1335 Ethernet Camera, the module streams image data using the GigE Vision standard over a single Category 5e or Category 6 Ethernet cable.
Power over Ethernet delivers electrical power to the camera across the same cable that carries the image data, which removes the need for a separate power supply at the camera’s end of the installation. As an AR1335 4K GigE Camera, the module can also stream a downsampled 4K output for applications that do not need the full 13MP frame, which reduces the bandwidth the network connection has to support.
Continuous autofocus is handled by a voice coil motor lens actuator commanded through standard GenICam feature nodes, functioning as a 13MP Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet Camera capable of holding focus automatically as the working distance changes. A 4K Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet Camera configuration applies the same autofocus behavior to the downsampled output mode for bandwidth-constrained network segments.
The AR1335 sensor uses a rolling shutter readout suited to the framing patterns typical of a fixed medical imaging station or an embedded vision inspection point. The module is rated across an operating range of negative 30 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius, so the same design supports a controlled clinical environment and a less controlled industrial or field installation without a separate thermal qualification cycle.
Introducing the Innova-1335CRA Autofocus GigE Camera Platform
The Innova-1335CRA is Vadzo Imaging’s newest addition to its Innova GigE camera series and its first entry positioned for medical and embedded vision applications that need long cable reach. As a 13MP GigE Camera, the module pairs the Onsemi AR1335 sensor with a factory-calibrated continuous autofocus lens and a Power over Ethernet connection in a compact form factor.
A Medical GigE Camera deployment needs more than resolution and focus. It needs an installation path that fits into a room already crowded with equipment and cabling. Positioned as an Embedded Vision GigE Camera, the Innova-1335CRA gives integrators a single cable installation that carries both power and data across distances a USB or MIPI camera cannot reach.
Continuous Autofocus for Consistent Clinical and Vision Detail
A camera that cannot adjust to focus forces the clinician or the integrator to work around a single fixed working distance. The Innova-1335CRA solves this with a continuous autofocus lens that tracks focus automatically. Functioning as an Autofocus PoE Camera, the module keeps every frame sharp whether it is mounted close to an exam table or farther away, covering a wider field of view. As a GigE Autofocus Camera, it applies this same behavior consistently across every resolution mode the sensor supports.
High Resolution Capture for Diagnostic and Embedded Vision Detail
Diagnostic review and embedded vision inspection both depend on resolving fine detail that a lower resolution sensor would lose. A PoE Autofocus Camera Module built around the AR1335 sensor delivers full 13MP capture at 4208 by 3120 pixels, so small features remain resolvable even after cropping to a region of interest. Functioning as an Autofocus Ethernet Camera gives diagnostic software and inspection pipelines more raw pixel detail to work with before any digital zoom reduces effective resolution.
Single Cable Power and Data Simplicity
A separate power cord running across an exam room floor or along an equipment cart is both a tripping hazard and a housekeeping obstacle. The Innova-1335CRA functions as a 13MP PoE Camera that draws power directly from its network connection, so only one cable needs to be run to the camera. As a 13MP Ethernet Camera, it delivers full resolution image data over that same cable without a separate data line.
Multi Resolution GigE Output for Bandwidth Efficient Streaming
Not every application needs the full 13MP frame at every moment. The Innova-1335CRA exposes 13MP, 4K, 1080p, 720p, and VGA output modes, so a network segment with limited bandwidth can request a smaller frame while a diagnostic review station requests full resolution capture. As a 4K GigE Camera Module, it balances detail against bandwidth for live preview, and as a 4K PoE Camera Module it keeps that same balance available on a single Power over Ethernet connection.
Medical and Embedded Vision PoE Integration
Medical carts, ceiling-mounted exam camera systems, and distributed embedded vision networks all benefit from a camera that installs with a single cable run. Functioning as a PoE Medical Camera, the Innova-1335CRA fits directly into clinical equipment layouts without a dedicated power outlet at the camera location. As an Embedded Vision PoE Camera, it extends that same single cable simplicity to non-clinical inspection and monitoring installations.
Compact OEM Ready Module with Wide Operating Temperature
OEM engineering teams need hardware that is ready to integrate without a redesign cycle. The Innova-1335CRA ships as a complete PoE GigE Camera Module with lens, cable, and documentation. Built as an OEM GigE Camera Module, it functions as a Plug and Play GigE Camera on any GigE Vision compliant host, and as a GigE Vision Autofocus Camera, it is rated from negative 30 degrees Celsius to 70 degrees Celsius for deployment across both controlled clinical spaces and less controlled industrial environments.
“Medical and embedded vision installations rarely put the camera right next to the computer running the software. The Innova-1335CRA pairs the Onsemi AR1335 sensor with continuous autofocus and a single-cable Power over Ethernet connection so integrators can place the camera where the application needs it rather than where the cabling allows. That flexibility removes a real constraint from how these systems get designed and installed.” – Alwin Vincent, Product Manager, Vadzo Imaging.
Applications
Medical Diagnostic Imaging and Point of Care Devices: Diagnostic instruments and point of care devices need a camera that resolves fine detail regardless of where it sits in the room. Functioning as a Medical Embedded Camera, the Innova-1335CRA integrates directly into diagnostic carts and fixed exam stations over a single Power over Ethernet cable. Positioned as a GigE Medical Imaging Camera, it gives clinical software a sharp high-resolution frame regardless of patient positioning.
Telemedicine and Clinical Documentation Systems: Remote consultation and clinical documentation platforms depend on consistent image quality across every session. Deployed as a Clinical GigE Camera, the Innova-1335CRA autofocuses automatically as patients and equipment shift position, giving remote clinicians and documentation systems a dependable frame every time.
Medical Device Integration and Diagnostic Platforms: Original equipment manufacturers building diagnostic platforms need a camera module that fits directly into a regulated product without a custom interface board. Built as a Medical Device GigE Camera, the Innova-1335CRA integrates using the standard GigE Vision protocol. Functioning as a GigE Diagnostic Camera, it gives diagnostic platform developers a validated imaging component rather than a bare sensor requiring ground-up integration.
Embedded Vision and Multi-Camera Inspection Networks: Distributed inspection networks with several camera modules spread across a facility to benefit directly from the long cable reach and network scalability of a Gigabit Ethernet connection. The Innova-1335CRA connects to a standard managed switch alongside other camera modules on the same network, which simplifies scaling an inspection deployment from one camera to many without adding dedicated capture hardware for each addition.
Laboratory Automation and Diagnostic Workflow: Laboratory automation systems that move samples between imaging stations need a camera that stays in focus as sample holders and slides sit at slightly different heights. The continuous autofocus lens on the Innova-1335CRA keeps every capture sharp without a mechanical stop, which supports high-throughput diagnostic workflows where consistency across samples matters as much as any single measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does a single cable carrying both power and data matter for equipment placement in a hospital exam room or operating suite?
A: Medical spaces are often crowded with equipment, and every extra power cord running across a floor or along a wall is a tripping hazard and a housekeeping obstacle. A camera module powered directly over its network cable through Power over Ethernet eliminates the separate power brick and power cord entirely. One cable delivers both the electrical power and the image data, which simplifies cart-based diagnostic equipment, ceiling-mounted exam camera systems, and mobile imaging stations where clean cable routing matters for both safety and appearance. Vadzo Imaging builds its Power over Ethernet camera products specifically so integrators can reduce cable clutter without giving up reliable power delivery.
Q: How far can a camera be positioned from its host computer when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection compared to a standard USB connection?
A: A standard USB connection is typically reliable only up to a few meters before signal quality degrades without active extension hardware. A Gigabit Ethernet connection using standard Category 5e or Category 6 cabling can run up to one hundred meters between the camera and the network switch without any signal boosting equipment. This matters for hospital layouts where the camera may need to sit in an exam room, a surgical suite, or a hallway well away from the server room or workstation running the imaging software. Vadzo Imaging designs its Gigabit Ethernet camera products to take full advantage of this reach, so facility layout does not dictate where a camera can be installed.
Q: Can multiple Gigabit Ethernet camera modules be connected to the same network switch without their data streams interfering with each other?
A: Yes. Gigabit Ethernet camera products built to the GigE Vision standard use standard networking principles to share a switch cleanly, with each camera assigned its own IP address and transmitting on its own data stream. A managed switch can allocate bandwidth intelligently across multiple camera modules. Adding another camera to the network is as simple as plugging in another cable rather than adding another dedicated capture card to the host computer. This scalability is one of the main reasons Vadzo Imaging recommends a Gigabit Ethernet camera product for any deployment expected to grow beyond a single camera.
Q: Does a Power over Ethernet camera module require a separate power supply if the host network switch does not support Power over Ethernet?
A: Yes, but only in that specific situation. If the network switch a camera connects to does not supply power over the Ethernet cable, an inline power injector can be placed between the switch and the camera to add Power over Ethernet capability without replacing the switch. Once that injector is in place, the camera still receives both power and data over the same single cable running to the camera itself. Vadzo Imaging provides guidance on selecting the right injector or switch configuration, so integrators are not caught off guard by this requirement during installation.
Q: What kind of support does Vadzo Imaging provide to medical device OEMs who need documentation or customization for a camera module going into a regulated product?
A: Vadzo Imaging provides RoHS3, REACH, and NDAA compliance documentation up front so OEM procurement and quality teams can evaluate a camera module against their own regulatory checklist without chasing down paperwork later. Beyond documentation, Vadzo offers lens customization, enclosure adjustments for sterilizable or wipeable housings, and firmware tuning to match a specific diagnostic or clinical workflow. Vadzo Imaging is proud to support medical device OEMs through the full product lifecycle from early evaluation through long-term production, which matters for regulated products that often stay in service for many years without a component change.
