Hawkeye Firefly 8SE Action Camera w/ 170-Degree Lens

The Firefly 8SE records Ultra HD 4K video at 30 frames per second using its Sony IMX117 sensor. For high-speed capture, it supports 1080p Full HD at 120fps and 720p HD at 240fps, enabling detailed slow-motion playback for sports analysis or motion tracking applications. Ensure you use a high-speed, Class 10 or U3 rated microSD card to handle the high data throughput required for these recording modes.

The camera features a standard 1/4-inch tripod mount thread and is compatible with universal action camera cages and brackets. For drone integration, use a vibration-dampened mount to isolate the camera from motor harmonics. For IoT projects, you can access the live video feed via its micro HDMI port for real-time streaming or connect it to a single-board computer via USB for webcam mode, though driver compatibility should be verified with your host system (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano).

Use a high-performance microSDXC card with a minimum speed class of U3 (UHS Speed Class 3) and Video Speed Class V30 to reliably record 4K video streams. The camera officially supports cards up to 128GB capacity. Format the card in the camera before first use to ensure proper file system allocation. For continuous recording, monitor card temperature and consider periodic offloading to prevent buffer overflow during extended high-bitrate sessions.
