Endoscope camera modules can be classified according to their application scenarios and sensor types.
Application scenario classification
Medical endoscopes: Mainly used for medical diagnosis and treatment, such as bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, colonoscopes, etc. These endoscopes require high-definition images and good lighting systems to ensure that doctors can accurately diagnose and treat. Industrial endoscopes: Used for industrial inspection and maintenance, such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electricity and other fields. They need to be able to work stably in complex environments and provide high-resolution images. Security monitoring: Used for monitoring systems, such as monitoring inside and outside buildings, traffic monitoring, public place monitoring, etc. These cameras usually need to have functions such as waterproof, dustproof, and riot-proof, and can work normally in low-light environments. Sensor type classification
CCD camera module: CCD (charge-coupled device) camera modules use the photoelectric effect to convert optical signals into electrical signals, and have the advantages of high sensitivity, low noise and high dynamic range. They are often used in professional fields with extremely high requirements for imaging quality, such as high-end astronomical observation equipment, professional broadcast-level cameras, etc.
CMOS Camera Module: CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera modules have their own photodiode, amplifier, and analog-to-digital converter for each pixel, and have the advantages of high integration, fast data transmission speed, and low power consumption. They are widely used in consumer
