Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect this camera to a Raspberry Pi or other SBC without USB host?

For direct connection to a single-board computer's GPIO, use the included SH1.0 4-pin cable. You will need to identify and connect the correct pins for power (5V), ground, and the camera's data lines (likely D+ and D-). Note that this requires the host board to support USB in device mode or have specific driver support for the sensor, unlike the plug-and-play experience via the USB-C port connected to a PC.

What software or drivers are needed to use this camera on a Windows or Linux PC?

On most modern Windows and Linux systems, the camera is recognized as a standard USB Video Class (UVC) device, requiring no additional drivers. Simply plug in the USB-C cable, and it will appear as a video source in applications like OBS Studio, VLC, or OpenCV. For custom development, you can access the video stream using libraries like OpenCV's VideoCapture function, specifying the device index assigned to the camera.

Can I adjust focus or change the lens on this camera module?

No, the lens on this module is fixed-focus and not user-adjustable. It is factory-set with a focal length of 2.88mm and an aperture of F2.7. The module is a sealed unit, and the lens is not designed to be removed or replaced, making it suitable for applications where a consistent, pre-calibrated field of view is acceptable.

What is the power consumption of this USB camera module?

The module operates from a standard 5V supply provided via the USB-C port or the SH1.0 header pins. While a specific current draw isn't listed, typical 5MP USB cameras consume between 200-500mA under full operation. Ensure your power source, especially when using the header on a development board, can provide adequate 5V current to avoid instability or frame drops during video capture.
