What does CMOS and CDD mean?
|
The terms CMOS and CCD
refer to the imaging devices within the cameras. CMOS stands
for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor and CCD stands for
Charge Coupled Devices.
Both provide advantages and
disadvantages over each other, below is a basic guide.
CMOS consumes less power, CCD consumes as much as
100 times more power than an CMOS sensor. For solutions
including the battery powered micro camera the CMOS sensor is
ideal.
CCD sensors create a higher quality, lower
noise image than CMOS
CCD has a more uniform picture
quality over CMOS, the picture on CMOS can be a little washed
out in parts.
CMOS sensors are smaller, and provide
options for micro cameras such at the ones we offer.
CCD tends to be more expensive to produce over CMOS
sensors, due to this CCD based cameras are generally more
expensive.
