SmartSens has introduced two new 5MP CMOS image sensors, the SC538HAI and SC536HAI, designed for smart security applications. Both models utilize the SmartClarity-3 process technology and feature the upgraded SmartAOV 2.1 technology to support Always-On Video (AOV) functionality.

The sensors optimize power consumption by switching between a 60fps frame rate during event detection and a 1fps rate during idle periods. This allows security devices to maintain continuous operation while reducing energy usage.

The hardware incorporates SFCPixel and Micro-Pillar near-infrared enhancement technologies. The quantum efficiency reaches 85% at 520nm, while at 850nm, it hits 51%, representing a 13% improvement over previous generations.

Both sensors feature a 1/2.7-inch optical format compatible with standard industry lenses. The SC538HAI uses a CSP-35pin package, while the SC536HAI uses a CSP-30pin package, allowing for flexible integration and space optimization in camera modules.
