12MP IMX708 USB UVC Fixed-Focus Camera B0304
At present, the MIPI CSI interface used by most embedded cameras is high-speed and stable, but the compatibility and convenience are far less than the USB interface compatible with the UVC protocol. And under the premise of MIPI CSI interface, many platform to use the camera needs supporting drivers and software, such as libcamera on the Raspberry Pi, V4L driver on Ubuntu, etc.
Our first attempt was to adapt the UVC adapter board on the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, through which the UVC protocol support and communication can be realized. The same is true for the IMX708 UVC camera, which we adapted so you can use it as a webcam.
The camera is equipped with a 75°(D)x66°(H)x41°(V) Fixed Focus Lens and On-Board Audio. It is compatible with Windows, Linux, Android and MAC and so on. You don’t need to install any additional drivers other than the device driver, which is a truly convenient camera.
Applications
- Webcam
- Home Surveillance System
- Wildlife Photography
- DSLR Camera Control
- Instant (Polaroid-Style) Camera, etc.
Features
- Compatible with All Platforms: Adopting UVC protocol, compatible with various platforms and operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, etc.
- Plug and Play: Only the USB device driver needs to be installed, no additional drivers are needed depending on the platform. Just plug-and-play after the installation is completed.
- High-Quality Images: Based on SONY 12MP IMX708 Image Sensor. Max Resolution: 4608×2592. The high resolutio allows you to get sharper and more recognizable images at a greater distance.
- Fixed Focus: Equipped with a 66°(HFOV) Fixed Focus Lens. Compared with the Autofocus Lens, the Fixed Focus Lens has a faster-focusing speed and more stable image quality.
- Audio Function: We have equipped this USB camera kit with a microphone module that supports High-Quality audio input/output.
