Description

The Waveshare OV5693 USB Camera (B) is engineered for reliable, high-quality video capture in UAV and FPV environments. Its OV5693 CMOS sensor provides a 5-megapixel resolution, enabling crisp imaging and smooth 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second. The camera supports both fixed-focus and auto-focusing, allowing users to select the optimal mode for their application, whether for stable telemetry feeds or dynamic object tracking.

Designed for seamless integration, the camera connects via a standard USB 2.0 cable, requiring only a 5V power supply. The 3.2mm lens with an F2.0 aperture and a 75-degree field of view offers a balanced perspective suitable for a wide range of monitoring and FPV scenarios. Its compact form factor ensures minimal weight and space impact when incorporated into custom drone payloads or ground control setups.

Key Features

  • Dual-Focus System: Switch between reliable fixed-focus for consistent depth of field and responsive auto-focus for moving subjects.
  • High-Definition Output: Streams and records 1080p video at 30 FPS via the USB 2.0 interface with minimal latency.
  • Optimized Optical Design: Features a 3.2mm focal length lens with an F2.0 aperture and a 75° diagonal field of view for versatile framing.
  • Plug-and-Play USB Interface: Simple USB connectivity eliminates the need for complex driver installation on most operating systems.
  • Low-Power Operation: Runs on standard 5V USB power, making it compatible with portable batteries and SBCs like Raspberry Pi.
  • Compact and Lightweight Build: Small footprint and low mass facilitate integration into space-constrained UAV payloads.

Applications

  • FPV ground station telemetry and video monitoring displays.
  • Drone-based live streaming and broadcast payloads.
  • UAV security and surveillance system integration.
  • Computer vision and object tracking projects using Raspberry Pi or similar SBCs.
  • Educational and prototyping platforms for aerial imaging and robotics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the fixed-focus and auto-focus modes on this camera?

The fixed-focus mode locks the lens at a preset distance, providing consistent image sharpness for stationary subjects or known working ranges, which is ideal for stable telemetry feeds. The auto-focus mode dynamically adjusts the lens to keep moving subjects or objects at varying distances in sharp focus, suitable for dynamic scenes or tracking applications. You can select the mode based on your need for consistency or adaptability.

What systems or software is this USB camera compatible with?

This camera uses a standard USB Video Class (UVC) driver, making it plug-and-play compatible with most operating systems like Windows, Linux, and macOS without requiring additional drivers. It is readily recognized by video conferencing software (Zoom, Skype), recording applications (OBS Studio), and programming environments (OpenCV on Raspberry Pi) for computer vision projects.

Can this camera be powered directly from a drone's flight controller or battery?

No, this camera is designed for 5V USB power and is not directly compatible with typical drone LiPo battery voltages (e.g., 3S-6S). To use it on a drone, you would need a regulated 5V BEC or a separate USB power bank. Its primary integration is for ground-based systems, telemetry stations, or payloads powered by an onboard 5V regulator.
