  • Versatile for home surveillance, 3D-printer monitoring and machine vision

USB Camera Module for Makers and Integrators

This 8MP IMX179 camera board measures 38mm by 38mm and connects via USB with UVC compliance. It suits hobbyists adding vision to a Raspberry Pi, builders monitoring a 3D printer, or developers prototyping object-recognition projects. The wide 115-degree horizontal lens lets one module cover a large workspace.

UVC Interface Limits Frame Rate at Full Resolution

The sensor reaches 3264 by 2448 pixels, but the USB video class path restricts uncompressed YUY2 streaming to 1fps at that resolution. MJPG compression restores 30fps at the same pixel count, so software must request the MJPG format for smooth video. Buyers who need high-frame-rate uncompressed capture at maximum resolution will find this interface a bottleneck.

8MP IMX179 Sensor Decides Fit for Machine Vision

The single specification that determines suitability is the Sony IMX179 sensor delivering 8 megapixels with MJPG and YUY2 output. If an application demands higher pixel counts, global shutter, or specialised spectral response, this module will not meet the requirement. For general-purpose monitoring and recognition tasks at this resolution the sensor is adequate.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the MJPG or YUY2 format for the 3264*2448 resolution?

MJPG delivers 30fps at 3264*2448 while YUY2 only manages 1fps at that resolution, so MJPG is the practical choice for smooth video.

What does the 115° horizontal view angle mean when the camera is mounted on my 3D printer?

The 115-degree M12 lens captures a wide field of view, letting you monitor the entire print bed and surrounding area from a single 38mm board position.

How does the USB UVC interface affect frame rates at the maximum 3264*2448 resolution?

The USB UVC connection supports MJPG at 30fps and YUY2 at 1fps at 3264*2448, so the compression format you select determines the achievable frame rate.
