4551 Sony Europe’s 5853 Image Sensing Solutions division has announced a new flagship module to further advance its range of digital OEM video cameras. The new module combines the company’s renowned, ultra-sensitive Exmor CMOS sensor with a 30x optical zoom to deliver exceptional picture clarity for transport, security and low vision applications.

The FCB-EH6500’s 1/2.8-type colour sensor delivers true HD (1080p) video at 30fps. Compared to the previous flagship device, the FCB-EH6300, the camera also extends the viewing angle by over 7 per cent (59.5o at 1080p, 40.6o at 720p), increases the focal range by 50 per cent (f=4.3 to 129mm) yet maintains a minimum required illumination of just 0.5lx.

It would seem logical that street lighting and car designers would consider their work from other road users’ point of view but empirical evidence appe
