WaveShare OV5640 5MP USB Webcam

The WaveShare OV5640 5MP USB Webcam connects through a USB 2.0 interface and captures still images at 2592 × 1944 resolution. It records 1080P video with a 68° field of view, making it suitable for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano or general PC streaming setups. The module is driver-free on supported platforms and includes autofocus capability.

Sustained USB 2.0 streaming behaviour

The sensor uses a 1/4 inch format with a fixed 3.29 mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture for consistent light gathering. Continuous 1080P capture runs within USB 2.0 bandwidth limits, so frame rates remain stable during long sessions without thermal throttling. Autofocus adjusts silently while recording, avoiding sudden hunting that can disrupt a live feed.

Verify USB port and mount before ordering

Confirm the host device provides a standard USB 2.0 or 3.0 Type-A port for the module’s plug. Check that the 68° field of view matches the intended scene width at your working distance. Ensure the mounting method suits the 3.29 mm lens protrusion and that no physical obstruction blocks the sensor’s line of sight.
