Zebra VS20 Smart Sensor PoE, 1 MP, Red LED (660 nm), Adjustable focus, up to 60 fps

The VisionStream 20 from Zebra is a compact, industrial-grade smart vision sensor family engineered for high‑reliability inspection, barcode decoding and PLC‑integrated track‑and‑trace workflows. Built around 1.0–1.2 MP global‑shutter imagers and offering adjustable focus options (liquid lens or auto‑tune capable), these PoE‑enabled sensors deliver consistent image capture at up to 60 fps with integrated red or white illumination. Optimized for manufacturing, packaging, logistics and OEM automation, the VisionStream 20 simplifies deployment with M12 industrial interfaces, broad protocol support and Zebra Aurora/Sensor Toolset software for fast 2D decode, OCR and quality checks — reducing setup time, improving first‑pass read rates and increasing inspection repeatability in demanding production environments.

Key Features

• Compact smart sensor: Integrated imaging and processing in a small footprint for space‑constrained inspection points and OEM integration.
• High‑speed, reliable capture: Global‑shutter imagers deliver up to 60 fps to support fast moving lines and consistent decoding performance.
• Flexible focusing: Adjustable focus via liquid lens or auto‑tune capable mechanisms simplifies setup across varied working distances.
• Industrial connectivity: M12 Ethernet and power/GPIO/RS‑232 interfaces with Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and TCP/IP for PLC/host integration.
• Onboard decoding and tools: Sensor Toolset and Zebra Aurora software provide Fast 2D Decode, OCR and image‑quality tools for rapid commissioning and tuning.
