FAQ

1. What is a camera module?
A camera module is a small electronic device that integrates the components necessary for capturing images and videos. It consists of a lens or lenses, a sensor for capturing light waves, and a processor that converts the sensor's output into a digital image or video.
2. How do camera modules work?
Camera modules work by using a lens to focus light onto a sensor that converts the light waves into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by a chip or processor and stored as a digital image or video file.
3. What are the components of a camera module?
The components of a camera module typically include a lens or lenses, a sensor, a chip or processor, and often a flash or other light source. Some camera modules may also include a housing for protection and mounting.
4. What are some common applications of camera modules?
Camera modules are used in a wide variety of applications, including smartphones, digital cameras, surveillance systems, medical devices, and automotive safety systems.
5. What factors should I consider when choosing a camera module?

When choosing a camera module, some important factors to consider include image quality, resolution, sensor size, lens type, frame rate, power consumption, and cost. Other factors may include size, weight, and environmental conditions.
