BCi4 End-of-Life

Owing to termination of production of the IBIS4-1300 sensor the BCi4 models have now reached end-of-life.
There will be no further software development specifically for these cameras.
Of course, support for customers with existing installations will continue as long as possible.

However, BCi4 cameras are not recommended for new developments
