Description

The Waveshare IMX335 USB Camera (B) integrates a high-performance 1/2.8-inch Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor, engineered for superior image quality in variable lighting conditions. Its back-illuminated pixel structure and 71.6 dB wide dynamic range enable clear detail capture in both highlight and shadow regions, making it exceptionally capable for security and outdoor IoT deployments. The module outputs uncompressed YVY2 or motion-JPEG streams via a standard USB 2.0 interface, ensuring compatibility with common embedded Linux platforms and vision processing frameworks like OpenCV.

Housed within a compact 25x24mm board, the camera is paired with a wide 175° diagonal field-of-view M12 mount lens, constructed with 5 glass and 3 plastic elements plus an IR cut filter. This fixed-focus optical assembly provides consistent focus from 50cm to infinity, minimizing calibration overhead. The combination of low-light optimized sensor, wide-angle lens, and industrial-grade operating temperature range (-10°C to 60°C) makes this module a versatile choice for developers building smart surveillance systems, drone FPV, robotics perception, and industrial machine vision applications.

Key Features

  • High-Sensitivity IMX335 Sensor: 5-megapixel Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor with enhanced quantum efficiency for superior low-light performance.
  • 2K Video & Multi-Stream Output: Records and streams video at 2592x1944@30fps, 1920x1080@30fps, and 1280x720@30fps in MJPG or YVY2 formats.
  • Wide Dynamic Range (WDR): 71.6 dB dynamic range at 8x gain preserves details in high-contrast scenes.
  • Ultra-Wide 175° FOV Lens: M12-mount lens with F2.0 aperture and fixed focus provides expansive coverage for monitoring and spatial awareness.
  • Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 Connectivity: Standard USB-A interface ensures easy integration with Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, PCs, and embedded hosts without additional drivers.
  • Compact & Industrial Design: Miniature footprint and extended operating temperature range support deployment in space-constrained and harsh environments.
  • Low Distortion Optics: Lens distortion is kept below -36% for accurate image geometry in computer vision pipelines.
  • High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 36 dB SNR ensures clean image output with minimal sensor noise, critical for analytics and edge AI.

Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices is this Waveshare IMX335 USB camera compatible with?

The camera is compatible with any system supporting USB Video Class (UVC), including Raspberry Pi (all models with USB port), NVIDIA Jetson boards, Windows PCs, Linux machines, and macOS computers. No additional drivers are needed for basic MJPG/YVY2 streaming. For Raspberry Pi, ensure the USB port provides sufficient 500mA current and use standard video capture libraries like OpenCV or GStreamer.

How do I achieve the best low-light performance with this camera module?

Maximize low-light performance by leveraging the sensor's native wide dynamic range mode and ensuring adequate 5V USB power. In software, adjust gain and exposure settings via V4L2 controls (v4l2-ctl) or OpenCV's CAP_PROP settings. The fixed F2.0 aperture lens gathers maximum light; avoid digital zoom which reduces SNR. For extreme low-light, pair with external IR illumination as the lens includes an IR cut filter removable for night vision projects.

Can I use this camera for object detection or AI vision projects on a Raspberry Pi?

Yes, this camera is ideal for AI vision on Raspberry Pi. Stream 1080p at 30 FPS via USB into OpenCV for real-time processing. Use the YVY2 format for lower CPU overhead. For TensorFlow Lite or PyTorch models, capture frames, resize to model input dimensions (e.g., 320x320), and preprocess. The wide 175° FOV is excellent for robotics navigation. Ensure your Pi 4/5 has adequate USB bandwidth and use threaded capture to avoid frame drops in high-performance applications.
