Adimec on Smaller Pixels in Security

Adimec blog's recent post discusses the benefits and issues of using smartphone-style small pixels in 24/7 security camera applications. The pros and cons of small pixels are:

Pros:

Lower costs and weight through smaller sensors, optics, and cameras
Increased resolution with same sensor size and optics
Sensitivity in dim light is acceptable
Color reproduction can be good enough

Cons:

Give up global shutter (get rolling shutter)
Slower frame rates
More noise
Lower full well capacity
Lower MTF
Optical/Electrical crosstalk
Lower quality available optics
