CamX Triton, Elara, and Spectra Intraoral Cameras have been engineered to not require a foot pedal. The capture buttons placed on the camera will take the picture without having to use the computer mouse or a foot pedal.
It is important to remember that the Spectra Caries Detector uses reflected light to create its readings. Things like the angle of the Spectra, excess saliva on the tooth and intrusion of ambient light can affect the reflected light and cause unexpected readings.
The Elara and Spectra use the power provided by your computer’s USB to operate. The amps provided by the USB port is limited to 500ma and certain conditions can cause the amp draw of the camera to exceed this.

We are interested in hearing from you about your dental imaging application and working with you to provide support if we don’t already have it.
