48 MP USB Webcam for Makers and Streamers

The Adafruit 48 MP USB webcam delivers up to 8000x6000 pixel stills and 3840x2160 video at 30 fps through a standard USB connection. It is built for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, laptop and desktop users who need high-resolution capture without internal hardware changes. The 70-degree horizontal field of view suits solo streaming, video calls and prototype vision projects.

Plug-and-Play Integration for Embedded Builds

The camera draws power and data over a single USB cable, requiring no external supply or driver installation on supported Linux and Windows hosts. Its metal case provides rigid mounting points for brackets or enclosures, freeing up GPIO headers and CSI lanes on single-board computers. Automatic focus removes the need for manual lens adjustment during deployment.

Sustained Capture at Multiple Resolutions

Autofocus settles in roughly 200 ms and holds focus continuously during long sessions, avoiding the drift common in fixed-focus modules. The sensor maintains 1920x1080 at 30 fps MJPEG for extended streaming, while 4000x3000 at 12 fps and 8000x6000 at 3 fps serve periodic high-detail snapshots. Thermal output remains low enough for enclosed mounts without active cooling.

Questions about this item

How long does the autofocus take to lock on during a long video call?

The autofocus responds in around 200ms, so it keeps subjects sharp even when you move closer or farther from the lens during extended sessions.

Does the metal case stay cool when the camera streams 4K at 30fps all day?

The aluminium housing acts as a passive heatsink, so the body remains only warm to the touch during continuous 3840x2160 capture.

What host port and software capability are needed to reach the full 48MP still resolution?

A USB 2.0 or 3.0 port plus an application that can request 8000x6000 stills; many conferencing apps cap at 1920x1080, so check your software settings first.
