Why make a Custom Camera?
Starting with Off-The-Shelf (OTS)
Starting with Off-The-Shelf (OTS)
A custom camera allows you to optimize Performance, Features, and Price, and reduce risk of your Off-The-Shelf (OTS) camera going End-of-Life (EOL).
Do you get all you need from your OTS camera now?

Starting with Off-The-Shelf (OTS)
It is common to start a visual project with an OTS camera. Even very large companies do that AND bring those products to market.
The common downside of using OTS is that the cost is far from being optimized and either your first product has "dollars wrapped around it" or it is not price-competitive.
After OTS
Starting with Off-The-Shelf (OTS)
Out of OTS
After gauging the market interest in the product, a company rushes to create a cost-competitive camera with the same or better performance and features.
By then, the pressure to deliver has already started.
If the product is not designed to be cost-effective from the start, it might not be possible to make it profitable.
Out of OTS

When you purchase an OTS camera, the price that you pay includes profit for the company that makes it.
Paying only for NRE, Manufacturing, and Compliance will cut your per-camera cost in half.

Why waste the OTS cycle? It really depends on how innovative your product is.
If it is a new product category and your company is risk-averse, go OTS first.
If you are improving on an existing product category, don't waste the OTS cycle.
