MAC address vendor

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH — 2 prefixes (MA-L)

Primary prefix
00:1B:A2
Block
MA-L
Status
Active

Summary

// what this is
IDS Imaging Development Systems is registered to MAC prefix 00:1B:A2 and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1B:A2, that block was registered by IDS Imaging Development Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A MAC starting 00:1B:A2 or 5C:67:76 indicates a device from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH specifically (dedicated /24 blocks, not shared IEEE pools); given IDS's documented product line this most plausibly reflects an industrial camera's network interface, though OUI alone does not prove device type.
[ 01 ] — Context

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High

A MAC address beginning with 00:1B:A2 or 5C:67:76 belongs to a network interface built by IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, a German industrial and machine-vision camera manufacturer, and most plausibly sits on a GigE Vision or USB3 Vision area-scan or 3D camera rather than a general-purpose computer.

Both prefixes are full, exclusively-assigned MA-L (/24) blocks registered in the IEEE database to the identical organization name and street address, which is itself a substance signal: this is a real, findable company with two independent allocations, not a bare single-OUI shell registration.

IDS is headquartered in Obersulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, and sells the uEye and Ensenso camera product lines for factory automation, robotics, and machine-vision applications. IDS's own GigE-camera manuals document MAC-address-based device identification and IP/DHCP configuration for these cameras, which corroborates the device-type inference above.

Two caveats apply. Third-party lookup tools display "date registered" values for these prefixes, but IEEE's public OUI data carries no assignment date at all, so any such date is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact. Separately, IDIS Co., Ltd. — a distinct Korean company with its own unrelated OUI — must not be confused with IDS Imaging Development Systems despite the similar short name.

CVE / security history
no CVE recorded for IDS Imaging Development Systems, uEye, IDS peak, or "IDS Software Suite" in the NVD as of an August 2026 search; IDS published a statement that its products are unaffected by the Log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228)

Special note
IEEE's public OUI data publishes no assignment/registration date for either prefix; third-party "date registered" values (e.g. maclookup.app) are database artifacts, not IEEE facts. Do not confuse this organization with IDIS Co., Ltd., an unrelated Korean company with its own separate OUI.

Analyst note
A MAC starting 00:1B:A2 or 5C:67:76 indicates hardware from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH specifically — both are dedicated /24 blocks assigned solely to that organization, not shared IEEE pools; in IDS's documented product line this most plausibly reflects an industrial camera's network interface.
