Manual Varifocal Lens USB Camera
This USB 2.0 video capturing device uses a 1/2.7" OV2710 CMOS sensor and a manually adjustable 2.8-12mm varifocal lens. It delivers up to 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second for Windows, Linux, Mac and Raspberry Pi systems. The compact black enclosure includes a 3 metre cable for flexible placement.
USB 2.0 Bandwidth and Codec Constraints
The USB 2.0 interface limits sustained throughput, so 1080p capture is fixed at 30 fps while 720p reaches 60 fps and VGA can hit 120 fps. Only M-JPEG and YUY2 formats are supported with PCM audio, so high-efficiency codecs are not available. Host controllers must provide USB 2.0 High Speed or Full Speed operation for these frame rates.
UVC Plug-and-Play Installation
The camera operates as a standard UVC device, requiring no proprietary drivers on supported operating systems. Manual focus and zoom are adjusted by rotating the lens barrel, which can be stiff and may shift slightly when cables are moved. Fixed-focus users or those needing remote zoom control will find the manual mechanism unsuitable.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 2.8mm or 12mm end of the varifocal lens for my setup?
The 2.8-12mm lens is manually adjustable; choose 2.8mm for a wide field of view or 12mm for a narrow, zoomed-in view depending on subject distance.
What frame rate will I actually get at 1080p when the camera is connected to a PC?
The sensor delivers 1920x1080 at 30fps over USB 2.0; higher frame rates such as 60fps require dropping to 1280x720.
Does the USB 2.0 connection limit the resolution or frame rate I can use?
USB 2.0 bandwidth caps the stream at 1080p30 or 720p60; 120fps is only available at 640x480.
