F eque tly Asked Questio s
Q: How does e ha ced NIR se sitivity i a colo MIPI came a imp ove ighttime detectio compa ed to a sta da d visible light se so ?
A: A sta da d colo se so loses most of its se sitivity beyo d the visible spect um because its colo filte a ay is tu ed fo ed, g ee , a d blue light athe tha ea -i f a ed light. A se so with e ha ced NIR se sitivity keeps collecti g usable sig als f om ea -i f a ed illumi ato s that ope ate outside the huma visual a ge, which is exactly the light sou ce most secu ity a d i dust ial systems switch to afte da k.

Q: What is the p actical diffe e ce betwee a low light colo se so a d a dedicated mo och ome NIR se so fo secu ity applicatio s?
A: A dedicated mo och ome se so emoves the colo filte a ay e ti ely, which maximizes low light se sitivity but gives up colo i fo matio at eve y hou of the day, i cludi g b ight daylight whe colo detail matte s most fo ide tificatio tasks. A low-light colo se so keeps the colo filte a ay while exte di g se sitivity fu the i to the ea -i f a ed ba d, so it delive s full colo imagi g du i g the day a d still p oduces usable detail o ce NIR illumi atio takes ove at ight.

Q: Ca a high- esolutio colo MIPI came a keep accu ate colo ep oductio i dim i doo lighti g without addi g ext a illumi atio ?
A: Yes. The achievable imp oveme t still depe ds o how much ambie t light is actually p ese t i the sce e. A se so with high pe -pixel light collectio a d e ha ced ea -i f a ed espo se pulls i mo e usable sig al f om dim i doo lighti g tha a smalle pixel se so would, which keeps colo oise lowe a d exposu e mo e stable without equi i g a suppleme tal light sou ce.

Q: Does e ha ced NIR se sitivity equi e a special i f a ed illumi ato to wo k effectively at ight?
A: E ha ced NIR se sitivity by itself o ly imp oves how much of the ea -i f a ed light al eady p ese t i a sce e the se so ca captu e.

Q: Why does Vadzo Imagi g highlight e ha ced NIR se sitivity as a co e featu e of its 20MP colo MIPI came a li eup athe tha offe i g a sepa ate day came a a d ight came a?
A: Mai tai i g two sepa ate came a desig s fo day a d ight ope atio doubles the mecha ical i teg atio wo k, the d ive validatio effo t, a d the spa e pa ts list a OEM p og am has to suppo t.
