SC2336
High-performance 2MP security sensor with exceptional low-light sensitivity and 120dB WDR for professional surveillance.
Product Overview
Description
The SC2336 is a 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor specifically designed for professional security and surveillance applications. Featuring SmartSens' proprietary LightGuiding pixel technology, this sensor achieves exceptional low-light performance with minimum illumination down to 0.001 lux in color mode. The 1/2.8 inch optical format with 2.9μm pixels delivers excellent sensitivity and low noise performance.
This sensor incorporates advanced PixGain HDR technology providing up to 120dB dynamic range for clear imaging in high-contrast lighting conditions. The SC2336 supports multiple output formats including 12-bit RAW and compressed formats optimized for video streaming. With support for up to 60fps at 1080p resolution, it delivers smooth video for real-time surveillance applications.
The SC2336 includes LED flicker mitigation technology for accurate imaging under LED lighting, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its compact package and low power consumption make it suitable for IP cameras, dome cameras, and bullet cameras requiring 24/7 operation.
As an authorized SmartSens distributor, BeiLuo Electronics provides comprehensive technical support for the SC2336 including application guidance, schematic review, and image quality tuning assistance.

FAE Expert Insights
"The SC2336 has become our go-to sensor for professional security camera applications. The low-light performance is truly exceptional - we've achieved usable color images in conditions where other sensors fail completely. The 120dB WDR handles entrance monitoring scenarios very well, capturing both indoor and outdoor details simultaneously. During our extensive testing, the LED flicker mitigation worked effectively with modern LED street lighting. Power consumption is as specified, making it suitable for PoE camera designs. The MIPI interface integrates seamlessly with major SoC platforms including HiSilicon and Ambarella."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum illumination for SC2336?
The SC2336 achieves minimum illumination of 0.001 lux in color mode and 0.0001 lux in monochrome mode. This exceptional low-light performance enables clear imaging in near-total darkness without requiring IR illumination in many scenarios.
For extremely low-light applications, the SC2336 provides excellent performance. Consider supplemental IR illumination only for complete darkness scenarios.
Does SC2336 support day/night switching?
Yes, the SC2336 supports automatic day/night switching with IR cut filter control. The sensor can detect ambient light levels and automatically switch between color mode for daytime and monochrome mode for nighttime operation, optimizing image quality for varying lighting conditions.
Enable day/night switching for outdoor cameras and applications requiring 24/7 operation. The automatic switching ensures optimal image quality around the clock.
What lens options are compatible with SC2336?
The SC2336 with 1/2.8 inch optical format is compatible with standard CS-mount and M12-mount lenses. Lens focal length selection depends on the desired field of view - typical choices range from 2.8mm for wide-angle coverage to 12mm for narrow field of view applications.
Select lens focal length based on monitoring distance and coverage area requirements. Use 2.8-4mm for general surveillance and 6-12mm for long-distance monitoring.
