8MP IMX179 Autofocus Webcam

This USB camera uses an IMX179 sensor with eight megapixels and an autofocus lens. It streams MJPG video at up to 3264x2448 pixels at 30 frames per second. The metal case measures 38mm square and includes a built-in microphone. It suits makers, streamers and machine-vision projects needing a compact UVC device.

USB 2.0 Host and OS Compatibility

Verify that your host provides a USB 2.0 port able to supply up to 300 milliamps. The camera requires Windows, Linux, Android or Mac OS with native UVC support; no extra drivers are needed. Ensure your application can select MJPG or YUY2 formats and handle resolutions such as 1920x1080 or 1280x720 at the required frame rate.

Upgrade From Fixed-Focus Modules

This unit replaces fixed-focus webcams that cannot adjust to near and far subjects without manual intervention. The autofocus lens covers objects at millimetre distance through infinity automatically. The jump is worthwhile when you need a 63-degree horizontal field of view, a durable metal enclosure and driver-free operation across multiple operating systems.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the KEHIPI 8MP IMX179 webcam?

The package includes the camera board with a built-in metal case and a single microphone. A USB cable is attached for power and data.

Which resolution and frame-rate combination should I pick for the IMX179 sensor?

For full 8-megapixel detail use MJPG at 3264×2448 @ 30 fps; for smoother streaming at lower bandwidth choose MJPG 1920×1080 @ 30 fps.

What does the 3264×2448 @ 30 fps figure mean when the camera is running on my Raspberry Pi?

It is the maximum MJPG output the IMX179 can deliver over USB 2.0, giving full 8 MP frames at 30 fps provided the host can sustain the data rate.
