How to Interpret the Camera Model Code?
The camera label is printed with a model code. Through this code, you can quickly identify key information of the current 2D camera, including series, pixel specification, color type, lens specification, focus method, whether a light source is included, and sales region.
AIC-Lite 2D Smart camera model codes usually follow the structure below:
The meaning of each segment is as follows.
Segment 3: Pixel Specification
Segment 3 indicates the camera pixel specification:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
016 |
1.6 MP |
050 |
5 MP |
120 |
12 MP |
250 |
25 MP |
Segment 4: Camera Type
Segment 4 indicates camera imaging type:
| Code | 2D camera type |
|---|---|
M |
Monochrome camera |
C |
Color camera |
Segment 5: Lens Specification
Segment 5 indicates lens version or focal length specification:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
00 |
No-lens version, requires a separate lens |
07 |
6.72 mm |
08 |
8 mm |
16 |

Segment 6: Focus Method
Segment 6 indicates focus method:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
M |

A |
Auto focus |
C |
Manual focus (no lens included) |
Segment 7: Light Source Configuration
Segment 7 indicates whether a light source is included:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
W |
White light source |
N |

Segment 8: Sales Region Code
Segment 8 indicates the product sales region:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
Blank |
Mainland China, Japan |

Example
Take AIC-Lite-016-M-07-M-W-GL as an example:
-
AIC: AIC camera
-
Lite: Lite series
-
016: 1.6 MP
-
M: Monochrome camera
-
07: 6.72 mm lens
-
M: Manual focus
-
W: White light source
-
GL: Sales region is overseas (except Japan) and Taiwan, China
By reading the model code, you can quickly confirm the camera’s baseline configuration, which helps with model selection, deployment, and after-sales support communication.
