Featuring exceptional high shutter speed (PLS&gt;98,000), SC935HGS and SC635HGS can provide ITS cameras with accurate, clear, high-quality images.<ul><li class="MsoNormal"> Greater Vertical Resolution</li></ul><div class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" style="text-align:center"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1756447521984000807.png"/></div>SC935HGS employs a 3840H×2336V resolution, delivering better vertical resolution than competitors’. This enhanced vertical imaging capability optimizes the ITS camera&#x27;s vertical field of view, minimizing vertical blind zones when capturing tall vehicles (e.g. trucks/buses) while ensuring clarity and comprehensive coverage for ITS lane monitoring systems. SC635HGS features a 2880H×2160V resolution, specifically engineered for adaptable deployment in compact road configurations like dual-lane ITS monitoring, meeting various application needs.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" style="text-align:center"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1756447539110957456.png"/></div>SC935HGS and SC635HGS are sampling now and will be mass-produced in Q2 2025.
