"Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are used for the detection of highest-energy γ-rays. This thesis focuses on two experiments equipped with such telescopes: The operating High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) and the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Four of the five H.E.S.S. cameras saw a major electronics upgrade a few years ago enabling improved readout and analysis techniques mainly at the highest energies. The Compact High-Energy Camera (CHEC) is a design for the Small-Sized Telescopes of CTA focusing on the detection of γ-rays with energies exceeding 1 TeV.\r\nThe first part of the thesis is dedicated to the characterisation of two CHEC prototype cameras developed successively: CHEC-M and CHEC-S. I present results of laboratory and on-telescope measurements for both cameras. In the case of CHEC-S, I focus on those parameters that had been shown to be performance-limiting in CHEC-M and which were therefore addressed in the design iteration for CHEC-S.\r\nThe second part is devoted to the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras. I present results of Monte-Carlo simulation studies, analysis developments, and performance measurements using full-waveform readout. In the former case I demonstrate a general consistency between simulations and measurements, in the latter case I show that the use of full-sampled waveform readout improves the performance, especially at the highest energies.\r\nIn the last part, I present a new analysis of the Galactic γ-ray source HESS J1646–458 which is associated with Westerlund 1, the most massive stellar cluster in our Galaxy."^^ .
