Important Update

This component is now available through our sister company, RESTAR FRAMOS. For a production-ready alternative, explore our compatible integrated modules.

Product Overview

8.45 MP CMOS image sensor with Starvis low-light technology for continuous surveillance and security.

The Sony IMX779-AQR is an 8.45 MP CMOS sensor featuring a 6.4 mm (Type 1/2.8) diagonal, built on Sony’s Starvis platform for enhanced low-light sensitivity and color accuracy. With triple power supply support (2.9 V analog, 1.1 V digital, and 1.8 V interface), it ensures low power operation ideal for continuous monitoring scenarios. The sensor adopts RGB primary color filters and incorporates an electronic shutter with variable charge integration time for clear, smear-free image capture. Low dark current and high sensitivity allow for consistent image quality even in poorly lit environments, making it ideal for round-the-clock surveillance. Suitable for building security, traffic monitoring, and remote surveillance applications, the IMX779-AQR delivers stable and detailed imagery in compact camera setups.
