Onsemi's AR0544 HyperLux LP Sensor | Enhanced Dynamic Range & LI-HDR | Super Low Power Mode | Wake-on-Motion | Enhanced NIR Response @ 850nm & 940nm | Excellent Low Light Performance | USB 3.2 Gen1 UVC Camera

FORT WORTH, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / January 6, 2026 / Vadzo Imaging, a global leader in embedded vision solutions, today announced the launch of the Falcon-544CRS Low Light USB UVC Camera, a compact and power-efficient 5MP USB 3.2 Gen1 UVC camera powered by the Onsemi AR0544 HyperLux^™ LP image sensor. Designed for always-on and vision-critical applications, Falcon-544CRS delivers high-quality imaging with ultra-low power consumption in a compact form factor.

Built on onsemi's 1/4.2″ back-side illuminated (BSI) stacked CMOS architecture with a 2592 × 1944 active pixel array, the Falcon-544CRS supports capabilities such as enhanced HDR, Wake-On-Motion, and excellent NIR sensitivity upto 940nm. Additionally, the AR0544 sensor integrates with an on-board ISP to provide advanced features such as Dynamic ROI streaming, ROI based Auto-Exposure control, and LI-HDR enabling reliable performance across low-light conditions, high-contrast scenes, and motion intensive environments.

The above listed capabilities makes the Falcon-544CRS USB UVC Camera perfectly suited for live video capture and image capture for demanding applications such as smart access systems, wearable cameras, industrial automation, retail analytics, and more.

Key Benefits of the Falcon-544CRS

Enhanced Dynamic Range (eDR) - The AR0544 HyperLux sensors captures clear detail in both bright and dark regions within a single frame by intelligently combining high-gain and low-gain readouts, delivering HDR-like performance at low power. This is ideal for machine vision, outdoor surveillance and always-on applications.

Line-Interleaved HDR (LI-HDR) - The camera in combination with the ISP enables line-interleaved T1/T2 readout, the camera captures bright and dark regions within a single frame, delivering high-contrast imaging with improved scene detail and no motion artifacts associated with multi-exposure HDR.

Enhanced NIR Sensitivity - The Falcon544CRS delivers reliable low-light and near-infrared imaging with optimized sensitivity at 850 nm and 940 nm, ensuring consistent performance in IR-illuminated environments

Wake-on-Motion (WoM) - Integrated Wake-on-Motion capability allows the camera to remain in an ultra-low-power standby state and automatically transition to full operation upon motion detection, optimizing energy consumption for always-on and event-driven embedded applications.

USB 3.2 Gen1 UVC Compliance - Fully compliant with USB Video Class (UVC) standards, the camera supports high-bandwidth, low-latency video streaming with true plug-and-play functionality across Windows, Linux, and Android platforms.

Compact Form Factor - The camera comes in two variants; 38mm x 38mm as well as 32mm x 32mm. The camera is also customizable to adapt to various mechanical requirements.

Optics Integration Flexibility - The camera supports both S-mount and CS-mount lenses, offering flexibility in optics selection and system design.

VISPA ARC SDK

The Falcon-544CRS along with the VISPA ARC SDK provided extensive flexibility in terms of advanced controls that are beyond UVC. VISPA ARC SDK, , which is Vadzo's unified software platform for camera control, video streaming, and hardware management. The VISPA ARC SDK provides developers to capture the imaging capabilities of the camera to the advanced level. Some of the core features of the VISPA ARC SDK are:

• Dynamic ROI configuration

• ROI based Auto-Exposure Control

• Precise Exposure Control

• HDR On/Off and WoM Control

• Firmware Management

The VISPA ARC SDK offers API that can be used with C, C++, C#, and Python programming languages, thus allowing developers to integrate their work in several environments for embedded vision applications.
