The OS04L image sensor features a 2.0-micron pixel based on OMNIVISION’s OmniPixel®3-HS technology. This high-performance, cost-effective solution uses high-sensitivity frontside illumination (FSI) for true-to-life color reproduction in both bright and dark conditions.
“The OS04L provides a seamless camera resolution upgrade to 4MP for consumer security devices at a price point comparable to 2MP and 3MP sensors,” said Cheney Zhang, senior marketing manager, OMNIVISION. “This is especially important as we are seeing an increasing demand for entry-level smart home devices across the globe, and customers want a high-performance, cost-effective product.”
The global smart home market size is projected to reach USD 537.01 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27% from 2022 to 2030, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. The security and surveillance segment registered the highest revenue share of about 31% in 20211.
The OS04L image sensor features 2K resolution at 30 frames per second and has 2x2 binning for enhanced sensitivity. It supports MIPI interfaces.
The OS04L will be sampling in Q4 2022 and will be in mass production in Q1 2023. For more information, contact your OMNIVISION sales representative: www.ovt.com/contact-sales.
