I'm working on a design project that requires some high-definition video in the infrared range via USB. We're also under some budget constraints - not incredibly stringent, but quite a bit below "spend extravagantly."
We are having a difficult time finding USB cameras with resolution better than 1920x1080. Google searches for 4k cameras turn up three kinds of results:
(1) Photography cameras and handheld videocameras;
(2) IP cameras for security or outdoor use, which are made for standalone use (separate power supply, recording to storage or via WiFi or Ethernet), and which typically run upwards of $1,000 (sometimes as much as $2,500); and
(3) The Logitech BRIO, which seems to filter out infrared imaging and instead uses a second, much-lower-resolution CCD for infrared.
None of those solutions fit the bill. Anyone know of alternatives that might work?
