## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=AC-B0437:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/AC-B0437:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Ultra High Stability and Accuracy and Open Source API allows for it to be integrated into almost any vision project. 
The camera has low power consumption and super sharp imagea. It is equiped with a NoIR M12 Lens.

### Applications

- Assets Monitoring
- Space Journey
- Environmental Observation
- Night Home Security System
- loT Automation
 
### Features

- Equipped with an alternative M12 Lens (NoIR) with 75-degree Horizontal FOV. Especially suitable for low-light environment applications, e.g., night/darkness vision.
- Extremely easy to use. High-level commands were built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
- Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout then.
- The SDK is fully open-source with MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
