Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are compatible with this USB camera?

The camera uses standard USB Video Class (UVC) drivers, making it compatible with Windows 10/11, Linux (including Raspberry Pi OS), and macOS without requiring additional software. Simply plug it into a USB port, and it should be recognized as a video source in applications like OBS, Zoom, or OpenCV.

Can I use this camera with a Raspberry Pi for computer vision projects?

Yes, it is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi models (3/4/5, Zero). Connect via USB, enable the camera interface in raspi-config if needed for certain libraries, and use it with Python OpenCV or Picamera2. The 130-degree FOV is ideal for robotics or surveillance applications requiring a wide perspective.

Is the focus adjustable, and what is the minimum working distance?

This camera features a fixed-focus lens set at 3.6mm, optimized for general use. It does not have manual focus adjustment. The minimum working distance is typically around 30cm to infinity, providing clear images for desktop use and room monitoring without requiring precise distance calibration.
