Re: Alternatives to kinect

I think you misunderstand how the Kinect works. The Kinect only uses IR to generate a depth map of the objects in front of it. It does so by projecting tiny dots from an IR laser onto the surface. It does not flood the FoV with IR light as the camera you linked does.

You can still use the camera, but you may have to write your own class to handle it, and it may not work very well compared to the Axis camera depending on what your purpose is (latency, etc.)
