Software and SDK Installation

DVSense SDK and DVSense Insight

DVSense SDK and DVSense Insight are DVS camera development kits independently developed by DVSense Technology Co., Ltd.

DVSense Insight provides a GUI interface for operating DVS cameras, recording data, playback, and basic processing.

DVSense SDK provides developers with C++ driver and control interfaces for DVSense cameras.

The packages support DVSLume, DVSLume-G1, DVSync, and the DM3 module/camera, and are also compatible with Prophesee EVK4. After installation, see the camera connection preparation and verify the USB or network requirements for the connected product.

Windows Installation

System	DVSense SDK	DVSense Insight	DVSenseToolBox
Windows 11	DvsenseDriver-Setup-1.2.6.exe	Dvsense Insight-Setup-1.2.6.exe	DvsenseToolBox-Setup-1.0.1.exe (Paid software. Please contact sales for details.)

Ubuntu Installation

Starting from v1.2.4, Ubuntu systems use the DVSense apt repository for installation. Direct deb package downloads are no longer provided.

Only Ubuntu versions 20.04 and later are supported.

Ubuntu packages are split into the following three packages:

Package	Description
libdvsensedriver-dev	SDK development library.
dvsense-driver-sample	Optional prebuilt sample applications included with the SDK. Depends on libdvsensedriver-dev.
dvsenseinsight	UI application. Depends on libdvsensedriver-dev.

1. Install curl and gpg

sudo apt -y install curl gpg

2. Install the DVSense apt repository

curl -fsSL https://sdk.dvsense.com/apt/key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/dvsense.gpg
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dvsense.gpg] https://sdk.dvsense.com/apt $(grep VERSION_CODENAME /etc/os-release | cut -d= -f2) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvsense.list
sudo apt update

3. Remove residual installations

If old deb packages were installed on the system, remove the residual packages first:

sudo apt remove --purge libdvsense* dvsense*

4. Install DVSense packages

Installing DVSense Insight is recommended. The SDK dependency is installed automatically with DVSense Insight:

sudo apt install dvsenseinsight

If you only need the SDK development library:

sudo apt install libdvsensedriver-dev

If you need the SDK and prebuilt samples:

sudo apt install libdvsensedriver-dev dvsense-driver-sample

Python Driver Installation for DVSense SDK

Warning
Using the Python interface is not recommended in real-time systems. The Python interface for real-time camera data acquisition only provides synchronous data acquisition APIs and is not thread-safe.

Windows Installation

pip install dvsense-driver

Ubuntu Installation

pip install dvsense-driver
