An autofocus-zoom camera, or block camera, is a compact camera unit with integrated quality zoom optics, image sensor and processor. It is designed with precise autofocus, allowing for dynamic focal adjustments and high-quality image capture without manual intervention. For embedded systems and space-limited applications, board cameras offer an even more compact option.

Camera features include multiple output options, compact size, global shutter, powerful zoom and more.
