The “eye” of the IP security cameras is an image sensor. The light that reflects off a security camera lens can be captured by an image sensor, which can then turn it into an electronic signal. As a result, when you access your IP security cameras, one may view the images and recordings.
The quality of the photos and video recorded by each security camera is mostly determined by the image sensor. The functionality and imaging capabilities of your security camera are determined by the image sensor.
They are either a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) active pixel sensor, and their job is to convert an optical image into an electrical signal.
The Global Security Camera Image Sensor Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The IMX675, a 1/3-type CMOS image sensor for security cameras with roughly 5.12 megapixels that concurrently delivers full-pixel output of the entire collected image and high-speed output of regions of interest, was recently introduced by Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation.
The new sensor makes use of Dual Speed Streaming technology to display certain user-set regions of interest at high speed while concurrently broadcasting all of the pixels in a captured image at a maximum rate of 40 frames per second.
Using this image sensor, a single camera may offer fast-speed detection of specific objects with a high level of detail in addition to providing full photographs of scenes.
OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions such as advanced digital imaging, analogue, and touch & display technology, announced the new OS04L CMOS 4-megapixel (MP) image sensor, which brings 2K resolution digital images and high-definition (HD) video to consumer security devices such as smart home, doorbell, baby monitor, IP, and HD analogue cameras.
The OS04L sensor offers OEMs a cost-effective way to upgrade their camera resolution from 2 or 3MP to 4MP using a smaller pixel sensor in a 1/3-inch optical format.
The OS04L image sensor uses OMNIVISION’s OmniPixel3-HS technology and has a 2.0-micron pixel. This high-performance, low-cost solution employs high-sensitivity frontside illumination (FSI) for accurate color reproduction in both bright and dark environments.
OMNIVISION also announced the new OS05B CMOS image sensor, which combines best-in-class pixel technology and quantum efficiency (QE) in a 5-megapixel (MP) design for professional and high-end consumer security cameras such as industrial and factory surveillance systems, webcams, and high-end baby monitors.
The PureCel Plus technology is used in the OS05B’s 2.0-micron BSI pixel, which has a 1/2.78-inch optical format. It also has OMNIVISION’s Nyxel near-infrared (NIR) technology, which provides crisp, clear images in low-light conditions.
The OS05B improves on the OS05A in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR1) and NIR QE at 940nm by 32%. It also has selective conversion gain: high conversion gain improves sensitivity and reduces readout noise while maintaining optimal SNR in low-light conditions, while low conversion gain achieves a higher full well capacity in bright conditions.
It shoots high-resolution video at 60 frames per second and uses two-exposure staggered HDR. The MIPI and LVDS interfaces are supported by the OS05B.
