Allied Vision Alvium 1500 CSI-2 Camera

The Allied Vision Alvium 1500 C-050c revolutionizes embedded vision with its innovative ALVIUM System-on-Chip technology. Unlike traditional cameras that offload all processing to the host, the Alvium 1500 performs image correction and pre-processing onboard, reducing power consumption and easing integration. With a 0.5 MP ON Semi PYTHON480 global-shutter sensor running at 117 fps over a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, this compact 26 x 26 x 7 mm board-level camera is the perfect vision partner for NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, and other ARM-based edge AI platforms deployed across Canadian robotics and IoT projects. Allied Vision provides a unified V4L2 driver for NVIDIA Jetson platforms and a comprehensive SDK for x86 Linux and Windows.

Integration & Software Ecosystem:

Allied Vision provides a unified V4L2 driver for NVIDIA Jetson platforms and a comprehensive SDK for x86 Linux and Windows. The Alvium CSI-2 camera uses a single open-source driver for all models, dramatically simplifying multi-camera fleet management. ALVIUM onboard processing offloads tasks like defect pixel correction, flat-field correction, and gamma adjustment from the host CPU, freeing GPU cycles for AI inference. Dark AI Factories supplies FPC cables, carrier-board adapters, and integration consulting for Jetson Nano, Xavier, and Orin deployments across Canadian edge-AI projects.

What's Included:

• Alvium 1500 C-050c bare board or housed camera
• Hirose FPC CSI-2 cable
• C-mount or M12 lens mount (optional housings)
• Mounting bracket and M3 screws
• Allied Vision SDK and Jetson driver download link
