Digital Camera Sensor

Security camera sensor component for image capture.

Introduction

Security camera systems rely on digital sensors to convert light into clear footage. These sensors determine resolution, low-light performance, and color accuracy.

  • CMOS chips deliver real-time video at multiple frame rates
  • Wide dynamic range handles bright and dark areas together
  • Compact size fits inside dome, bullet, and PTZ housings

Choose the right sensor size to match your surveillance needs.

FAQs

Standard sizes include 1080p, 4MP, and 4K for varying detail requirements.

Larger sensors gather more light, producing brighter images with less noise at night.

Replacement depends on the model; many integrated units require full camera exchange.

Most modern chips switch between color during day and monochrome at night.

Typical voltage is 12V DC or Power over Ethernet, matching the camera's supply.
