Newshot SmartSens launches 5MP CMOS image sensors SC538HAI / SC536HAI for security applications, supporting always-on video recording
IT Home, November 12 news: SmartSens today announced the launch of two 5MP high-resolution CMOS image sensors for intelligent security applications: SC538HAI and SC536HAI. The new products are built on SmartClarity-3 process technology and combine low power consumption, low noise, and high dynamic range with support for always-on video (AOV), meeting the all-weather operating requirements of security devices.
According to the introduction, both SC538HAI and SC536HAI feature SmartSens' upgraded SmartAOV 2.1 technology and support always-on video (AOV). Taking SC538HAI as an example: when an event is detected, SC538HAI can quickly switch to a regular frame rate of 60fps for real-time recording; when no event occurs, it switches to an ultra-low frame rate of 1fps for continuous recording, effectively reducing device power consumption.
At the same time, these two sensors feature SFCPixel and Micro-Pillar near-infrared enhancement technology. Based on a BSI pixel architecture design and using SmartSens' SFCPixel technology, they achieve a quantum efficiency (QE) of up to 85% in the 520nm visible light band. Through optimization of the near-infrared enhancement structure, the absorption capability of the pixel photosensitive area for infrared light is improved. In the 850nm near-infrared band, the quantum efficiency of SC538HAI and SC536HAI can reach 51%, a 13% improvement over the previous generation.
IT Home notes that SC538HAI and SC536HAI use the 1/2.7" standard optical format for security products and are compatible with commonly used industry lenses. SC538HAI uses a CSP-35pin small package pin design, while SC536HAI uses a CSP-30pin small package pin design. The dual-package versions facilitate flexible Pin2Pin switching for customers and help streamline camera module space.
