Shanghai, China, October 29, 2025 SmartSens Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically-advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced SC285SL, a new 2-MegaPixel (MP) CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) of SmartSens Star Light (SL) Series for intelligent security applications. SC285SL is built on SmartSens&#x27; SmartClarity®-3 platform, and integrates SmartSens&#x27; advanced technologies including SmartAOV®2.1, SFCPixel® and Lightbox IR®. It has excellent performance in high sensitivity, low noise, and high dynamic range, which significantly enhance the image quality of AI dark-light full-color cameras in outdoor low-light scenes, allowing cameras to deliver clear full-color images without fill light. Besides, SC285SL features Always-On Video (AOV), low power consumption, etc., which provide reliable support for all-day stable operation of outdoor wireless cameras.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775201920850940586.png"/></div>Main featuresHigh sensitivityAI dark-light full-color cameras usually need fill light to achieve color imaging in low-light environments. Equipped with SmartSens&#x27; patented SFCPixel® technology, SC285SL has exceptional sensitivity reaching up to 12236mV/lux*s and SNR1s as low as 0.1lux, which enables cameras to capture clear, bright, and full-color images even in low-light outdoor conditions without fill light.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775201943468869276.png"/></div>Developed upon Lightbox IR® technology, SC285SL<a name="_Hlk187834716"> </a>achieves enhanced Near-Infrared (NIR) sensitivity. The peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) at the 850nm wavelength of SC285SL is up to 40%, and the peak QE has a 25% increase at the 940nm wavelength compared with its predecessor, providing clearer and brighter images in low-light scenes.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775201953689987641.png"/></div>Low noiseSC285SL employs SFCPixel® technology and supports CMS2, CMS4, and 12-bit quantization modes, which effectively reduce read noise. SC285SL achieves a read noise as low as 0.82e- under high-gain long exposure mode, this figure is significantly reduced by around 39% compared with its predecessor, enabling clean and detailed images.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775201980973255460.png"/></div>SmartAOV®2.1 technologyEquipped with SmartSens’ upgraded SmartAOV®2.1 technology, SC285SL supports Always-On Video (AOV). When a moving target is not detected, SC285SL captures videos at a low frame rate of 1fps in a low power consumption mode. When a moving target is detected, it is awakened quickly and captures videos at a frame rate of 30fps. Therefore, AOV enables cameras to capture all-day videos 24/7.Compared with its predecessor, SmartAOV®2.1 technology has the following advantages:· Optimized booting time: By decreasing the number of register configurations, the booting and transmission efficiency of CIS have been further improved.· Dynamic power consumption indication function: By controlling the trigger timing of the rising and falling edges of the fill light, it achieves precise synchronization of the fill light time and CIS exposure time, eliminating ineffective power consumption during non-exposure time.· Multiple sensors booting synchronization: In master-slave mode, it enables the synchronization of booting and exposure time for multiple sensors in multi-camera solution, thereby improving shooting speed.· Enhanced image processing effect: the built-in AWB function of the CIS has been raised to 16x gain, which covers a wider range of the color temperature, thus achieving better image color reproduction.· Interrupt mode: When the booting is completed, CIS sends a logic level to the System on Chip (SoC). The SoC doesn’t need to obtain the CIS’s booting status by reading the register, which reduces resource usage and improves operational efficiency.Low power consumptionBased on the precise control of internal modules, SC285SL has power consumption as low as 91mW, 148mW, and 205mW at the frame rates of 30fps, 60fps, and 90fps, respectively, which effectively reduce the heat during camera operation and meets the long-term video recording needs of security applications.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775202000096944393.png"/></div>Imaging at high temperaturesSC285SL adopts SmartSens&#x27; advanced SmartClarity®-3 technology, achieving superior high-temperature imaging performance. Compared with the predecessor, SC285SL’s Dark Current (DC) and White Pixel (WP) are significantly reduced by about 91% and 43% at a temperature of 80°C, thus enabling cameras to output stable and clear images in high-temperature environments.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775202011440920299.png"/></div>High dynamic rangeThe highest dynamic range of SC285SL is up to 92dB in InSensor HDR™ mode, which meets the video recording requirements of security surveillance in different outdoor light conditions. InSensor HDR™ supports DR100, DR200, and DR400, which make images accurate and clear from narmal light to strong contrast light scenes. Furthermore, based on the single-frame multiple-gain image fusion technology of InSensor HDR™, SC285SL achieves high dynamic range while effectively suppressing motion blur, which achieves accurate and clear images. In addition, SC285SL also supports Staggered HDR, which help cameras to capture more image details, thereby adapting to diverse intelligent security applications.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1775202033019565200.png"/></div>SC285SL is sampling now and will be mass-produced in Q1 2026.

Consequently, during real-world operation, they can ensure intelligent robots capture high-definition, distortion-free images of moving objects. This capability facilitates efficient real-time image capture while significantly improving robots’ accuracy in environmental perception and enhancing the efficiency of obstacle avoidance and positioning recognition.<div class="media-wrap video-wrap"><video controls="" class="media-wrap video-wrap" autoplay="" loop="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1756452083130199495.mp4"></video></div><ul><li> High Sensitivity</li></ul>To reduce low-light conditions’ impacts on the operational efficiency and perceptual accuracy of robotic visual obstacle avoidance and positioning, SC038HGS, SC133HGS, and SC233HGS feature dual ultra-high sensitivity in both visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, effectively empowering robots to capture high-definition images regardless of ambient brightness. Incorporating a large 3μm pixel size, all three sensors achieve up to 90% peak quantum efficiency (QE) in the visible light wavelength along with high sensitivity in the NIR wavelength. For example, SC038HGS achieves a peak QE of 20.3% at the 940nm wavelength, fully meeting the demands of NIR-based visual perception. This capability allows intelligent robots to achieve precise obstacle avoidance, positioning, and recognition in dim and even completely dark environments. <ul><li>High Dynamic Range (HDR)</li></ul>To resolve image defect caused by complex lighting—such as overexposure or crushed shadows—which impair robotic visual perception, SC133HGS and SC233HGS incorporate single-frame knee point HDR technology. With HDR dynamic ranges reaching 93dB and 92.65dB respectively, these sensors capture images with balanced brightness and clarity in high-contrast environments. This technology minimizes overexposure and shadow detail loss, providing intelligent robots with precise visual information for robotic operations. <ul><li>High PLS and Frame Rate</li></ul>In strong illumination, motion blur can easily occur during the recognition of moving objects.
