Description

The Sony Starvis IMX778-AQR1 is an 8.45 MP CMOS image sensor featuring a 6.4 mm (Type 1/2.8) diagonal, ideal for high-performance security and surveillance systems. With a square pixel array and triple power supply (2.9 V analog, 1.1 V digital, 1.8 V interface), the IMX778-AQR1 is designed for low power consumption and high sensitivity. It utilizes primary RGB color filters and an electronic shutter with variable integration time to deliver vivid, smear-free images. The sensor's low dark current and enhanced low-light capability make it highly suitable for outdoor and low-light security applications. Whether deployed in smart city surveillance, traffic monitoring, or building security, the IMX778-AQR1 provides reliable imaging in both day and night conditions with minimal energy footprint.
