1/2.8″ Sensors: The Affordable Standard

The 1/2.8″ sensor is a popular choice for mid-range PTZ cameras, offering a good balance between cost and image quality. It’s a slight step up from the 1/3″ sensor, which was the former industry standard for entry-level PTZ cameras.

Strengths of 1/2.8″ Sensors:

  • Better Low-Light Performance: While not the largest sensor, the 1/2.8″ sensor captures more light than smaller options like 1/3″, offering improved image clarity in moderately lit environments.
  • Improved Dynamic Range: This sensor size handles high-contrast scenes better than smaller sensors, retaining more details in both highlights and shadows.
  • Cost-Effective: Cameras with 1/2.8″ sensors are usually priced reasonably, making them suitable for businesses, schools, or users on a budget.
