Camera Module Selection Tool
Select the right camera module for industrial and AI camera applications based on application, interface, low-light performance, resolution, and frame rate.
Common Applications
- AI Recognition & Monitoring
Face recognition, human detection, and behavior analysis using edge AI.
- Visual Inspection & Measurement
Defect detection, dimensional measurement, and robot vision for factory automation.
- Night Vision & Low Light
Nighttime surveillance, security cameras, and low-light environments like parking lots and warehouses.
- Industrial Code Reading
Barcode, QR code, and OCR-based tracking for logistics, retail, and manufacturing.
Three Points to Decide First
- 1Interface
USB (UVC plug-and-play) or MIPI CSI-2 (high-speed, low-latency). Verify compatibility with your OS/SoC.
- 2Resolution & Frame Rate
2MP to 12MP. AI inference needs moderate resolution; fast-moving objects need high fps.
- 3Low-Light & Shutter Type
Low-light sensors for nighttime use. Global shutter to prevent motion blur.
