GC2063
High-sensitivity 2MP image sensor optimized for security cameras and IoT devices with excellent low-light performance.
Product Overview
Description
The GC2063 is a 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor specifically designed for security camera and IoT applications. It features a 1/2.9" optical format with 2.8μm pixels optimized for exceptional low-light sensitivity. The sensor achieves 0.001 lux minimum illumination, enabling clear night vision even in near-total darkness.
This sensor includes advanced WDR technology with 100dB dynamic range for handling challenging backlight conditions. The smart IR mode automatically adjusts settings for IR-illuminated night vision. With ultra-low power consumption of 80mW in active mode and sub-1mW standby, it's ideal for battery-powered wireless cameras.
The GC2063 supports DVP and MIPI interfaces for flexible integration with various SoC platforms. Its compact package and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor security applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum cable length for GC2063?
With MIPI CSI-2 interface, the GC2063 supports cable lengths up to 30cm with standard flex cables. For longer distances, use MIPI signal conditioning or consider DVP interface which supports longer cables at lower data rates.
For long cable runs, consider using an ISP chip with DVP output or implement signal conditioning for MIPI interfaces.
What is the minimum illumination for GC2063?
The GC2063 achieves exceptional low-light performance with minimum illumination of 0.001 lux, enabling clear night vision even in near-total darkness. This makes it ideal for 24/7 security applications without additional IR illumination in many scenarios.
For extremely low-light security applications, the GC2063's high sensitivity reduces the need for supplemental lighting. Consider IR illumination only for complete darkness scenarios.
Does GC2063 support WDR for backlight scenarios?
Yes, the GC2063 features 100dB WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, enabling clear imaging in high-contrast lighting conditions such as entrances with bright outdoor light and darker indoor areas. This is essential for security cameras monitoring doorways and windows.
Enable WDR mode for cameras monitoring entrances, windows, or areas with mixed lighting conditions. The 100dB WDR captures detail in both bright and dark areas simultaneously.
