The Sony FCB-EV9520L is a high-performance Full HD block camera designed for embedded imaging systems that demand low-light sensitivity, long-range zoom, and rock-solid stabilization. Featuring a 1/2.8" 2 MP STARVIS 2 (IMX662) CMOS sensor, the FCB‑EV9520L delivers crisp 1080p/60 video over a digital LVDS interface with enhanced signal-to-noise and wide dynamic range for challenging lighting conditions. A 30x optical zoom lens (4.3–129 mm) combined with Super image stabilization enables detailed, stable images from wide angle to telephoto, even on mobile platforms such as drones and robotic systems.

With minimum illumination down to approximately 0.00008 lx in ICR-on high-sensitivity mode, this camera excels in near-dark environments while maintaining accurate color and detail. Integration-friendly features such as VISCA control, multiple exposure and white balance modes, 3D/2D noise reduction, defog, and privacy masking make the FCB‑EV9520L a robust imaging core for security, traffic monitoring, industrial inspection, medical devices, and autonomous systems.

FAQs – Sony FCB-EV9520L Block Camera

Q: What video output does this camera provide?
A: The FCB‑EV9520L outputs digital HD video over an LVDS interface and does not include native HDMI, SDI, or IP streaming outputs.

Q: Can I control this camera remotely?
A: Yes. Using the VISCA protocol over the control interface, you can remotely adjust zoom, focus, exposure, white balance, and other imaging parameters from a host system.

Q: Does this camera work in complete darkness?
A: The camera is optimized for very low‑light environments, with minimum illumination levels down to approximately 0.00008 lux in ICR-on high‑sensitivity mode, but it still requires some light; add IR illumination for operation in total darkness.

Q: Is the FCB‑EV9520L plug‑and‑play, or does it require integration?
A: This model is an OEM block camera module that is intended to be built into a larger system, so it requires electrical and mechanical integration rather than plug‑and‑play use.

Q: What is included with the Sony FCB‑EV9520L?
A: The product consists of the bare block camera module only; enclosures, mounts, cables, interface converters, and other accessories are supplied separately as needed for your application.
