abstract = {Most devices supported by EPICS areaDetector fall under one of two categories: detectors and cameras. Many of the cameras in this group can be classified as industrial cameras, and allow for fine control of exposure time, gain, frame rate, and many other image acquisition parameters. This flexibility can come at a cost however, with most such industrial cameras’ prices starting near one thousand dollars, with the price rising for cameras with more features and better hardware. While these prices are justified for situations that require a large amount of control over the camera, for monitoring tasks and some basic data acquisition the use of consumer devices may be sufficient while being far less cost-prohibitive. The solution we developed was to write an areaDetector driver for USB Video Class (UVC) devices, which allows for a variety of cameras and webcams to be used through EPICS and areaDetector, with most costing under $100.},
