MIPI CSI-2 Global Shutter Camera for Embedded Vision

The ATC-HZ5528W-M is built for systems that need a compact digital camera module with MIPI CSI-2 4-lane output. MIPI CSI-2 is commonly used in embedded vision designs where direct digital video connection, small form factor, and efficient integration matter.

This makes the ATC-HZ5528W-M a strong option for OEM camera systems, robotics platforms, AI vision devices, inspection equipment, intelligent traffic systems, and custom embedded imaging applications.

Long-Range 28x Optical Zoom

The integrated autofocus zoom lens provides a focal range of 6.7mm to 190mm, giving the camera a horizontal field of view from approximately 54.3° wide to 2.0° telephoto. With 28x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom, the ATC-HZ5528W-M can support both wide-area viewing and tight long-distance detail.

Focus control options include Auto, Interval, One Push, Manual, and Preset, giving system designers flexibility for fixed installations, remote-controlled platforms, PTZ-style systems, and automated imaging applications.

Global Shutter Performance for Motion-Critical Imaging

The ATC-HZ5528W-M uses a global shutter image sensor, making it a better fit for applications where moving objects, vibration, vehicles, drones, robotics, conveyors, or fast scene changes can create image distortion.

Global shutter capture helps preserve object shape during motion, making this camera valuable for machine vision, industrial automation, traffic monitoring, robotic navigation, inspection, and other timing-sensitive imaging applications.

Advanced Image Processing

The ATC-HZ5528W-M includes a strong image processing feature set for difficult lighting and environmental conditions:

• True WDR for high-contrast scenes
• D-WDR with Auto, Low, Middle, and High settings
• 3D-DNR and 2D-DNR for cleaner low-light video
• Defog with Auto, Low, Middle, and High settings
• BLC and HLC for backlight and highlight compensation
• Digital image stabilization for vibration-prone systems
• Mechanical Day/Night for color daytime imaging and black-and-white night operation
• Privacy masking and motion detection

These features help improve image usability in real-world conditions where lighting, haze, glare, movement, and contrast can reduce performance.

Remote Camera Control

The ATC-HZ5528W-M supports UART RS232-TTL control with automatic protocol detection for VISCA, Pelco-D/P, and AFP/EAP. Supported baud rates include 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200bps.

This makes the camera easier to integrate into embedded controllers, robotics platforms, inspection equipment, surveillance systems, and OEM devices that require remote zoom, focus, exposure, and imaging control.
