The Shift from Batteries to Super Capacitors

Traditional lithium or coin-cell batteries have long been used as backup power in camera modules. But as resolution, processing speed, and data storage requirements grow, so do power demands. Batteries often struggle with:

• Limited charge/discharge cycles
• Longer recharge time
• Temperature sensitivity
• Bulky size in compact systems

Enter the super capacitor: a high-performance alternative engineered for fast charging, high reliability, and extended lifespans.

Why Super Capacitors Lead in Imaging Applications

Super capacitors like Kingtronics DKT-DZ offer critical advantages for both consumer and security-grade imaging systems:

• Fast Discharge Rate: Delivers stable power during recording or data writes.
• Ultra-Long Cycle Life: Over 500,000 cycles, drastically outlasting batteries.
• Low ESR: Supports high-efficiency energy transfer with minimal loss.
• Compact Form Factors: Available in Radial, Snap-in, and Screw types—ideal for flexible PCB designs.
• High Reliability in Harsh Conditions: Withstands wide temperature ranges and voltage fluctuations.

Whether you’re building a dashboard camera or an industrial surveillance unit, stable power is non-negotiable — super capacitors provide that insurance.

Consumer vs. Surveillance Devices – Same Needs, Higher Stakes

In consumer electronics, image quality sells. In surveillance, it protects. Both need continuous uptime during events like:

• Momentary voltage dips
• File-saving after power loss
• Real-time clock (RTC) continuity

Super capacitors ensure no recording loss, no reboot delays, no corrupted files—critical for capturing the moment or securing evidence.

DKT-DZ: The Ideal Power Backup for Camera Modules

Kingtronics' DKT-DZ Super Capacitor stands out as a drop-in solution for imaging device designers seeking dependable backup power. Its high surge tolerance, thermal durability, and compact size make it the preferred choice across applications.

Conclusion & CTA

Battery-based backup is fading. Super capacitors are the future of reliable power in imaging electronics — and DKT-DZ is ready now.
