Sensor Technology and Performance

IMX715 Color Sensor

The SC715C camera utilizes the IMX715 color sensor, capable of capturing highly detailed images with approximately 8.46 megapixels (3840H × 2160V resolution). This sensor offers high sensitivity and low dark current, enhancing its low-light imaging capabilities, especially in the near-infrared spectrum.
