Built for barcode scanning, kiosk terminals, and robotics applications, this AR1335 Gigabit Ethernet Camera combines the Onsemi AR1335 13MP sensor with advanced autofocus and a wide, continuous focus range. As an ROI Autofocus Camera, it provides flexible focus control for different target distances, while its GigE Vision interface enables reliable long-distance connectivity over standard Ethernet cabling. This combination gives integrators both precise autofocus and flexible camera placement from a single platform.

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 14, 2026 / Vadzo Imaging, a provider of embedded vision solutions, today announced the validation of the Innova-1335CRA, a 13MP AR1335 Gigabit Ethernet Camera built around the Onsemi AR1335 sensor for barcode scanning, kiosk, and robotics applications. Featuring advanced autofocus with ROI support, the camera provides reliable focus across a wide range of working distances while enabling long-distance deployment over standard GigE Vision cabling.

Why Remote-Mounted Applications Need an AR1335 4K Autofocus GigE Camera Built for Wide Focus Range

Barcode scanners, kiosk terminals, and robotics platforms frequently need to resolve subjects at genuinely different working distances, sometimes within the same installation, and a camera limited to a narrow autofocus range struggles the moment an application’s actual distance falls outside that assumption. An AR1335 Autofocus Ethernet Camera needs to hold sharp focus across a genuinely wide, continuous range, from a barcode presented just centimeters from a scanner window to a kiosk user or robotic target positioned meaningfully farther away.

A second, equally practical consideration is where that camera can actually be positioned relative to the computer or server processing its video feed. An Onsemi AR1335 Autofocus GigE Camera connected over MIPI is generally limited to a few centimeters of cable length, since that interface was designed for a camera mounted directly on or very close to its host processor, and even a USB connection typically maxes out at a few meters before requiring active extension hardware.

A 13MP Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet Camera addresses that distance limitation directly by using standard GigE Vision connectivity, which reliably supports cable runs up to 100 meters on a single segment without additional hardware. An Advanced Autofocus GigE Camera combining both wide focus range and long cable run capability gives integrators genuine flexibility in both how a subject is framed and where the camera itself can physically sit relative to the rest of a system.

Neither wide focus range nor long cable reach alone solves the underlying problem a genuinely remote-mounted, multi-distance deployment presents. A camera with excellent autofocus range but limited to a short MIPI or USB connection still cannot be mounted at the distance a real project requires, and a camera with genuine long cable reach but a narrow focus range still struggles the moment an application’s actual working distance falls outside that assumption. Combining both is what makes a camera genuinely suited to remote-mounted barcode, kiosk, and robotics deployment rather than adequate on only one specification.

Engineering Explanation: Wide Focus Range and Long Cable Reach Together

Onsemi designed the AR1335 for genuine focus flexibility, and Vadzo Imaging pairs that sensor with advanced autofocus validated across an unusually wide, continuous range specifically for applications where working distance cannot be assumed fixed at the design stage. As an Adjustable Focus GigE Sensor, the Innova-1335CRA adjusts focus electronically across that full range, giving integrators a single camera platform that handles both a closely presented barcode and a more distant kiosk user or robotic target.

That range holds up continuously rather than only at its two extremes, since a focus range validated only at its nearest and farthest points leaves a real risk that an intermediate working distance falls into an unsupported gap. As an Ethernet Focus Adaptive Module, the Innova-1335CRA resolves the subject clearly whether it falls near the closest supported distance, the farthest, or anywhere in between.

GigE Vision connectivity extends that flexibility to where the camera itself can be mounted, since standard Ethernet cabling reaches considerably farther than either a MIPI ribbon connection or a typical USB cable run. As a 13MP GigE Focus Sensor, the Innova-1335CRA connects back to a host system over a cable run long enough to reach a scanning position, a kiosk installation, or a robotics work cell positioned well outside the reach of a shorter interface standard.

A 4K Ethernet Focus Camera delivers that combination of resolution, focus range, and cable reach at 13 megapixels, giving integrators detail sufficient for identification and measurement tasks without requiring a camera mounted directly beside its host computer.

Product Overview

The Innova-1335CRA pairs the 13MP AR1335 Gigabit Ethernet Camera sensor with a wide, continuous autofocus range and standard GigE Vision connectivity in a compact design suited to barcode scanning, kiosk, and robotics integration at a genuine distance from the host system. As a 13MP Focus Range GigE Sensor, it outputs full 13 megapixel resolution with autofocus active across its full supported range by default, giving integrators a single camera platform that covers close-range scanning, mid-range kiosk interaction, and longer-range robotics vision from one module.

At the core of the module sits the AR1335 Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet camera sensor, chosen specifically for the combination of resolution and focus range flexibility that multi-distance vision applications require. Because the camera pairs that continuous range with genuine long cable run connectivity, a 13MP Autofocus Ethernet Camera configuration like this one reaches usable image quality across working distances and mounting positions that would defeat a narrower autofocus range or a shorter cable length alternative, all delivered as a 4K GigE Focus Module suited to remote-mounted deployment.

Key Capabilities

Onsemi AR1335 Sensor for Detailed 13MP Multi-Distance Capture: The Innova-1335CRA is built around the Onsemi AR1335 sensor, a device that resolves genuine 13 megapixel detail across a genuinely wide range of working distances for barcode scanning, kiosk, and robotics applications. This gives the module Ethernet Focus Range Module performance suited to tasks that need to resolve a subject clearly, regardless of exactly how close or far it happens to be from the camera at a given moment. That reliability matters directly for high-throughput scanning stations, where a single misread caused by a distance the autofocus mechanism could not reach slows an entire workflow regardless of how quickly the rest of the process otherwise runs.

Wide, Continuous Autofocus Range for Genuine Multi-Distance Coverage: A barcode presented at close range, a kiosk user standing at a moderate distance, and a robotic target positioned farther away each require a camera to hold accurate focus at a genuinely different working distance, and a standard autofocus mechanism tuned around one typical distance often struggles at either extreme. As a Long Short Range GigE Camera, the Innova-1335CRA’s autofocus spans that full range continuously, keeping a subject in focus regardless of exactly where within the supported range it happens to fall.

GigE Vision for Long Cable Run Deployment Beyond USB or MIPI Limits: A camera limited to MIPI or standard USB connectivity constrains how far it can actually be positioned from the system processing its video, which becomes a genuine deployment obstacle the moment a scanning position, kiosk, or robotics work cell sits farther away than those interfaces can reliably reach. As a Variable Distance GigE Sensor, the Innova-1335CRA’s standard Ethernet cabling reaches up to 100 meters on a single segment, extending further still with standard network switches, giving integrators mounting flexibility a shorter interface simply cannot match.

Continuous Focus Range Without Gaps Between Near and Far: As an Autofocus Gigabit Ethernet Camera, the Innova-1335CRA is validated across its full continuous focus range rather than only at its two extreme distances, since a focus range confirmed only at its nearest and farthest points still leaves a real risk that an intermediate working distance falls into an unsupported gap. That continuous validation matters directly for applications where the actual working distance varies from unit to unit or task to task, since those are precisely the conditions where a gap in an unvalidated middle range would surface as a real, recurring problem.

Compact Design for Remote-Mounted Barcode, Kiosk, and Robotics Integration: Barcode scanner housings, kiosk enclosures, and robotic end effector mounting positions often have limited internal space, particularly when that position sits at a remote distance from a central control room. The Innova-1335CRA’s compact design fits into that constrained space, integrating directly into existing scanner, kiosk, and robotics hardware without requiring a custom mounting redesign, regardless of how far that hardware sits from its host connection. That compatibility matters directly for facilities retrofitting existing installations with a longer-reach camera, since replacing an entire mounting enclosure at every remote position would add real cost and installation time to what should otherwise be a straightforward camera upgrade.

OEM Ready Design for Wide Focus Range GigE Equipment Manufacturers: Wide focus range GigE equipment manufacturers producing units at scale need a camera platform that stays consistent across a long production run. Vadzo Imaging supports full customization on this platform as a GigE Vision Focus Kit, including connector changes, optics selection, and firmware adjustments for manufacturers headed into volume production, and as an OEM GigE Focus Module, it gives OEM customers a proven foundation to build a differentiated scanning, kiosk, or robotics product around.

“Integrators building barcode scanners, kiosks, and robotics platforms keep telling us the same thing: the ideal camera position for a specific application is often farther from the host computer than a MIPI or even a USB connection can reliably reach. The Innova-1335CRA’s wide, continuous autofocus range combined with genuine GigE Vision cable reach gives integrators both focus flexibility and mounting freedom from a single platform. We built this camera for the actual mounting positions real projects require, not an idealized short cable run.” – Alwin Vincent, Product Manager at Vadzo Imaging.

Application-Specific Sections

Barcode and Document Scanning at Extended Cable Distances: Barcode and document scanning applications sometimes need a camera positioned well away from a central computer or server, whether due to facility layout or a scanning position that only makes sense at a specific physical location. As a GigE Barcode Focus Camera, the Innova-1335CRA’s long cable reach supports that placement, and functioning as an Ethernet Document Focus Camera, it extends the same reliability to document capture and verification tasks positioned at a genuine distance from the host system. That reach matters directly for facilities where the ideal scanning location was determined by physical layout rather than proximity to available networking or computing equipment.

Kiosk and Self Service Terminal Vision on a Shared Network: Kiosk and self service terminals distributed across a facility benefit from standard network connectivity that reaches each terminal’s actual location without requiring a dedicated short-range cable run to every position. As a GigE Kiosk Focus Camera, the Innova-1335CRA supports that distributed deployment, and functioning as a Multi Distance GigE Scanner, it extends the same reliability to broader multi-purpose scanning tasks across a facility’s full footprint.

Robotics with Remote-Mounted Camera Positions: Robotics platforms performing pick and place, inspection, or navigation tasks often need a camera mounted at a position genuinely distant from the system processing its video feed, particularly across a large work cell or facility floor. As a GigE Robotics Focus Sensor, the Innova-1335CRA’s long cable reach and wide focus range together support that remote mounting, and functioning as a GigE Focus Range Sensor, it extends the same reliability throughout a work cell.

Multi Camera Networked Scanning Systems: Facilities deploying several wide focus range camera units across multiple scanning, kiosk, or robotics positions benefit from standard networked connectivity that lets every camera share common infrastructure rather than each requiring its own dedicated host connection. As a GigE Focus Adaptive Vision platform, the Innova-1335CRA supports that shared network deployment, giving facilities a consistent camera platform across every position regardless of how far each one sits from a central server.

OEM Integration for Wide Focus Range GigE Equipment Manufacturers: Wide focus range GigE equipment manufacturers building their own scanning, kiosk, or robotics hardware need a camera vendor who understands the focus range and long cable connectivity requirements those systems demand together. The Innova-1335CRA ships from a Gigabit Ethernet Camera Manufacturer with those requirements built in, and Vadzo Imaging supports OEM customization for cable length, connector type, and firmware for manufacturers standardizing on one camera across multiple multi-distance product lines, as an Autofocus Ethernet Camera Manufacturer serving OEM programs of any scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why would a wide focus range camera specifically benefit from GigE connectivity rather than USB or MIPI?

A: MIPI connections are generally limited to a few centimeters of cable length since the interface was designed for a camera mounted directly on or very close to its host processor, and USB connections, while more flexible, still typically max out at a few meters before requiring active extension hardware to maintain a reliable signal. GigE Vision instead uses standard Ethernet cabling, which reliably supports cable runs of up to 100 meters on a single segment without additional hardware, extending considerably further with standard networking equipment. The Innova-1335CRA pairs that long cable run capability with a wide, continuous focus range specifically because many barcode scanning, kiosk, and robotics deployments position a camera at a genuine physical distance from the host computer or server room, a distance neither MIPI nor standard USB can reliably reach.

Q: How far can this camera actually be positioned from the host computer or server over GigE?

A: A single GigE Vision cable segment reliably supports a camera position up to 100 meters from its connection point, which is the standard maximum distance for a single unshielded or shielded Ethernet cable run before signal quality degrades. Integrators needing a greater distance than that single segment allows can extend the effective range further using standard network switches positioned along the path, since GigE Vision operates over conventional Ethernet infrastructure rather than a specialized machine vision cable requiring dedicated extension hardware. The Innova-1335CRA is built around that same standard GigE Vision cabling, giving integrators the same familiar distance and extension options any other standard networked camera would offer.

Q: Can multiple wide focus range GigE camera units be deployed on the same network for a multi-position scanning or kiosk system?

A: Yes, since GigE Vision camera products are designed to operate as standard networked devices, multiple Innova-1335CRA units can share a common network switch and connect back to a single host system, rather than each camera requiring its own dedicated connection point on the host itself. Facilities deploying several wide focus range camera units across multiple scanning positions, kiosk terminals, or robotics stations can connect each one through standard network infrastructure already in place, rather than running a separate direct connection for every individual camera position. Integrators planning a genuine multi-camera deployment should still validate combined network bandwidth against their specific switch capacity and the number of camera units sharing that connection, since available bandwidth is a finite, shared resource across every device on a given network segment.

Q: Can Vadzo Imaging customize a wide focus range GigE camera module for a specific multi-position deployment?

A: Yes. Vadzo Imaging supports full OEM customization on the Innova-1335CRA, including optics selection suited to a specific focus range or field of view, connector and cable configuration matched to a particular mounting position or enclosure design, and firmware adjustments tuned for a specific focus speed or network configuration. Evaluation units ship with no minimum order requirement, and the same engineering team that built the standard product works directly with equipment manufacturers to adapt the module for a specific barcode scanning, kiosk, or robotics platform headed into volume production.

Q: What should integrators look for when choosing a wide focus range GigE camera supplier for a multi-position deployment?

A: A camera that focuses well at a single demonstrated distance and network configuration does not automatically perform the same way once deployed across many positions with genuinely different cable runs and working distances. Integrators should look for genuine focus range validated continuously across near and far distances rather than only the two extremes, confirmed GigE Vision cabling performance at realistic deployment distances, and a supplier able to support customization for a specific multi-position network configuration. The Innova-1335CRA is built around exactly these priorities, since a genuinely dependable multi-position deployment depends on consistent focus and connectivity performance across every position a project actually presents, not just a single favorable demonstration setup.
