Integratek 0 Posted August 21, 2009 generally, bigger=better but smaller sensor might have better specs than a large one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted August 21, 2009 CCD stands for "charge coupled device" - it's a type of semiconductor used for image capture in all types of cameras (the other common one is CMOS, or "complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor"). The 1/3" or 1/4" refers to the size of the sensor. IN GENERAL, the larger the sensor, the better image quality and low-light performance you'll get, but there are other factors that come into play as well that aren't necessarily related to the sensor size.

Soundy 1 Posted August 24, 2009 Not "usually". Sometimes, only. A larger sensor can also mean the same number of larger pixels, which equates to better low-light performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 28, 2009 Dear sir I am new member! I don't know about Cammera CCTV so please explain to me the CCD 1/3" better or 1/4" better? thanks you! N.M.Thang Sony 1/3" CCD's usually best! There are also 1/2" availablem but not so common! Keep in mind you also need lens for the right chipsize! JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
