Purpose-built camera
The KEHIPI IMX291 delivers 1080p video through a 120° diagonal field of view, using a 2.9 µm Sony sensor rated for 0.001 lux minimum illumination. A fixed-focus M12 lens and USB 2.0 UVC interface make it a plug-and-play fit for machine-vision rigs, dashcams or discreet surveillance where low-light sensitivity outweighs autofocus flexibility.
Installation reality
Mount the 38 mm board inside its waterproof metal case, connect the 1 m USB cable and the camera enumerates on Windows, Linux, Android or Mac OS without extra drivers. The tight seal that keeps moisture out also blocks the single microphone, so plan for external audio if sound matters. Fixed focus means no software focus assist — position the lens once during setup.
Fit and limits
Builders who need a rugged, wide-angle USB camera that works in near darkness will appreciate the 80 dB dynamic range and compact footprint. Users who require autofocus, integrated audio capture inside a sealed enclosure, or resolutions beyond 1080p at 30 fps should look at other form factors.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 1080p 30 fps H.264 stream is active after plugging in the IMX291 camera?
Open AMCap or any UVC viewer, select the device, set the format to H.264 1920x1080 and verify the preview runs at 30 fps with the 120° diagonal field of view.
What ships in the box and what must I provide separately for the waterproof metal-cased module?
The package includes the 38 mm camera board in its sealed metal case, a 1 m USB 2.0 cable and a quick-start guide; you only need a host with a USB 2.0 port running Windows, Linux, Android or Mac OS.
Which lens and sensor combination should I choose for low-light surveillance at 0.001 Lux?
This model is fixed at the 1/2.8" IMX291 colour sensor with 2.9 µm pixels, 120° diagonal M12 lens and f/2.0 aperture — no alternate versions or capacities are offered.
