Sony (SONY) Arm to Unveil New Image Sensor for Security Cameras

This is a 1/1.2-type 4K-resolution Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor image sensor specially designed for security cameras. It delivers almost eight times the range of a regular model in a single exposure.

Focused on image sensors, Sony Semiconductor Solutions has created new markets through innovation. The company expects to see growth in areas such as automotive cameras, security cameras and factory automation.
The sensor enables high-quality image capture even in darker locations. When combined with AI, the product makes high-precision image recognition possible. This would be useful in making the society more secure. Sony also plans to launch IMX662, a 1/3-type 2K resolution image sensor.
Sony is concentrating on the premium segment of the branded products market to maximize growth. The company’s long-term vision is to achieve a ‘zero environmental footprint’ by 2050 for the entire life cycle of its products and business activities.
