Whether it is a mobile camera manufacturer or a large number of car camera manufacturers, it is a necessary condition for them to enter the front loading area if they want to really stay in the car camera industry market and get a good share of the industry market cake. Now let's talk about the front mounted car camera. First of all, let's take a look at the characteristics of vehicle mounted cameras: multiple types: vehicle mounted cameras have many subdivisions. For different applications, camera module manufacturers must design molds and purchase chips for their own characteristics.
Therefore, different camera module products must be produced by multiple production lines. Small single demand: the front mounted vehicle mounted camera should cooperate with the front-end design of the host manufacturer, so the requirements for the production line of camera modules of different models are different, but the shipment of a single model is bound to be small, resulting in a small order demand compared with the actual demand for mobile phone cameras. Camera module factories even face the problem of frequently changing production lines.
High service life requirements and strict quality control: the front mounted camera module products must be able to use for 5~10 years or even longer. In addition to the service life, the product must also ensure its consistency. For example, a Japanese customer attaches great importance to quality control because these products are related to human life, Therefore, the 0 km failure rate of the product is required to be 0ppm (PPM refers to a long verification time of one in a million: it may take 2-3 years for the front mounted vehicle camera to be verified and put into use. Therefore, the unit price is high, so the profit margin is large: under the influence of the previous articles, the overall cost is higher, so a higher price must be set to ensure the balance of revenue and expenditure. It is precisely because the profit of the vehicle camera is higher than that of the mobile camera, so now more and more camera module manufacturers are entering the vehicle camera industry Cephalic aspect.
