Technical datasheet for Lntech's 5MP starlight module. 1/2.8” Sony CMOS, 5MP@30fps, 0.01Lux. Switchable AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS/EX-SDI output, 120dB WDR, 3D-DNR. For OEM and professional integration.
5MP Starlight Camera Module Technical Overview
Multi-Format Output Board Camera with Sony Sensor & 120dB WDR
This 5MP camera module is engineered for integration into professional surveillance
systems and OEM equipment. It utilizes a high-performance 1/2.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor to deliver 5.04-megapixel resolution at a full 25/30 fps. Its defining feature is user-selectable video output across five
major protocols: AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS, and EX-SDI. Advanced image processing includes 120dB True WDR, Defog, and 3D-DNR, making it a robust solution for high-detail security applications
in variable lighting conditions.
In-Depth Technical Analysis
1. High-Resolution Imaging
The module's 5.04MP Sony sensor provides a native resolution of 2592x1944 pixels, offering a significant detail advantage over 2MP and 4MP systems.
This allows for wider coverage areas or more precise digital zoom
without sacrificing image integrity.
2. Multi-Format Output & Switching
The module supports baseband output for all major analog HD and SD
formats (AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS), typically selected via a hardware
dip-switch. The EX-SDI output provides an uncompressed digital signal path for applications
requiring zero latency and maximum signal integrity over longer
coaxial runs.
3. Optical & Illumination Performance
Lens: Equipped with a high-resolution 5MP 2.8-12mm manual zoom lens on an M12 mount, allowing for field of view adjustment from wide
to telephoto.
IR System: An integrated array of 24 surface-mount device (SMD) IR LEDs provides efficient, even illumination for total darkness
operation, achieving 0 Lux performance.
4. Image Processing & Enhancement
120dB Wide Dynamic Range: Utilizes multi-frame exposure processing to resolve critical
detail in scenes with extreme contrast (e.g., a doorway with bright
background light).
3D Digital Noise Reduction (3D-DNR): Applies both spatial and temporal filtering to suppress noise in
low-light conditions, resulting in a cleaner image without motion
blur.
Sens-Up: Frame-accumulation technology enhances sensitivity in
ultra-low-light scenarios, with selectable levels from 2x to 8x.
