Basler Dart M

The Basler dart M series is a line of compact, board-level cameras engineered for embedded vision applications that demand high image quality, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Built around the MIPI CSI-2 interface, these cameras deliver a direct and seamless connection to embedded processing boards such as NVIDIA® Jetson™, NXP®, and Raspberry Pi® platforms. The dart M series is equipped with a variety of high-performance CMOS sensors, offering resolutions from VGA up to 13 MP, and supports frame rates of up to 60 fps depending on the model. With their lightweight, small-footprint design (27 mm x 27 mm board level or S-mount housing), these cameras are optimised for integration into space-constrained systems while ensuring low power consumption and stable performance.

The dart M series is ideally suited for industries where compact size and efficient integration are critical, such as medical devices, laboratory automation, factory inspection, smart retail, and service robotics. The cameras’ CSI-2 interface ensures high-speed image transfer with minimal CPU overhead, making them well-matched to AI-based edge applications. Combined with Basler’s pylon Camera Software Suite and add-on accessories such as lenses and flat flex cables, the dart M series provides a complete embedded vision solution. This balance of performance, affordability, and integration flexibility allows developers and system designers to shorten development times while delivering high-quality imaging in demanding real-world applications.
