Overview

The FCB-ER8530 is equipped with an advanced electronic defog function and high dynamic range (HDR) performance, enabling it to adapt seamlessly to complex external environments. It also features a strong highlight suppression function that effectively eliminates overexposure caused by bright vehicle headlights at night.

The FCB-ER8530 comes with a 20x optical zoom lens boasting a maximum focal length of 88.4 cm. Combined with Sony’s newly released super-resolution lens technology, these models can clearly capture and recognize license plates from a distance of approximately 200 meters.

Ideal for integration into high-speed dome cameras, conference cameras, drones, medical equipment and other devices, the FCB-ER8530 stands out as a premium choice for 4K ultra-high-definition camera systems.

FAQ

Q1: Can a Chinese menu be enabled on the FCB-ER8530?

A1: The FCB-ER8530 4K UHD camera module does not have a built-in menu. However, a menu can be activated by pairing the module with our self-developed 4K interface board. Note that the menu is available only in English, and this menu function is designed for our control board, not a native feature of the camera module itself.

Q2: According to the product specifications of the FCB-ER8530, its operating voltage range is 6-12V DC. A 12V DC power adapter has an output range of 10-14V DC – can the module operate stably within this range?

A2: We recommend using a power adapter with a nominal output of 9V DC for the FCB-ER8530, with a maximum voltage deviation of ±3V DC. This means the maximum input voltage must not exceed 12V DC; voltages above this threshold may risk damaging the camera module.

Q3: For the HDMI interface of the FCB-ER8530, only HPD, +5V Power and TMDS differential signals are required – is I2C communication and CEC functionality unnecessary?

A3: The FCB-ER8530 only outputs +5V Power and TMDS differential signals via its HDMI interface. This is not a matter of the functions being unnecessary, but rather that the module does not support I2C communication or CEC functionality on this interface.

Q4: What are the differences between the SONY FCB-ER9500 and FCB-ER8530?

A4: The SONY FCB-ER9500 and FCB-ER8530 adopt different sensors and lenses, resulting in significant differences in their functional features and form factors. Key parameter comparisons are as follows:
