Action cameras refer to compact imaging devices that can shoot videos and photos while possessing certain waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof characteristics. If you still don’t understand, you can think of them as a camera, as a large portion of these products do not come with an LCD screen, requiring the use of other devices for viewfinder monitoring during recording. However, no manufacturer promotes their products as action cameras; different manufacturers have significant differences in naming this type of product, which we will collectively refer to as action cameras here.
Ambarella
Headquarters: USA
Advanced image processing and compression algorithms, currently considered the leader in this industry. The Ambarella series chips used in high-end products have excellent image quality and stable performance, but are very expensive. Core technologies are not disclosed, and those without authorization do not receive technical support from the original manufacturer.
Mainstream action camera chip solutions: A12, A7LA70D, etc.

Novatek
Headquarters: Taiwan
The second largest IC design company in Taiwan, strong capabilities, generally top-notch technology, but mature technology is very well done, with relatively low prices, and high cost-performance ratio. Especially after Novatek launched the NT96650 in 2013, 1080P has found its place, and when paired with WER and Micron image sensor AR0330, the performance was stunning, even clearly surpassing the Ambarella solution in image quality, and the price advantage will significantly enhance Novatek’s competitiveness.
Mainstream action camera chip solutions: NT96660, NT96658, NT96663, NT96655, NT96650, etc.

Allwinner
Headquarters: Zhuhai
A leading designer of smart application processors SoC and smart analog chips. The company’s main products include multi-core smart terminal application processors, smart power management chips, etc. The car recorders are mid-to-high-end, with price advantages and excellent performance. The image processing capability is relatively high (supports multiple lenses), but power consumption is slightly large. It mainly competes in the dual-lens and multi-lens recorder market, with true front recording at 720P and rear recording at VGA. The dual-camera solutions are either from Zoran or Allwinner chips.
