Window sensors are a critical part of any home security system. Learn how they work so you can ensure this last line of defense is there when you need it.

How Your Digital Camera Sensor Works A digital camera’s sensor collects light and converts that light into an image. It’s a small square positioned inside the camera body behind where the lens ...

Software-based autofocus (known as passive autofocus) uses data from the image sensor to determine whether the image is in focus and adjusts the lenses to compensate.

The image sensor in that camera didn’t have much in common with the ones we use today, but you have to admit it is clever. Of course, 1975 was also the year Kodak developed a digital camera and ...

But vintage cameras are making an inexplicable comeback among young people. Old digital cameras are a TikTok craze, and those participating in it are gravitating toward CCD sensors in particular.

When put together, the term "DSLR" itself is enough to explain the science behind how these cameras work. A digital sensor allows for instant image previews and better quality in low-lit environments.

The image sensor in that camera didn’t have much in common with the ones we use today, but you have to admit it is clever. Of course, 1975 was also the year Kodak developed a digital camera and ...

Canon's new SPAD sensors work by amplifying a single photon that enters the sensor's pixels into large amounts of electrical energy pulses. This allows the camera to see objects in areas with ...

A tiny sensor may soon change the way your phone camera sees color — resulting in more accurate reproduction and skin tones. And it looks mighty impressive.

The Raspberry Pi AI Kit is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 but the new AI Camera with a Sony IMX500 image sensor works with all of the company's devices.
