Hiwonder USB Wide-Angle Camera 170° GC0308 Sensor

Description

The Hiwonder USB Wide-Angle Camera is engineered as a compact vision sensor module centered on the GalaxyCore GC0308 CMOS chip. Its primary feature is the 170-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, which minimizes the need for multiple cameras by capturing a broad panoramic view in a single shot. This makes it exceptionally suitable for applications requiring wide-area monitoring.

The module operates via a standard USB interface, providing a straightforward plug-and-play experience for rapid prototyping and integration with systems running Windows, Linux, or macOS. The fixed-focus 3.6mm lens with an F2.2 aperture ensures sufficient light intake for consistent image quality. Its small form factor and low power draw via USB make it an ideal peripheral for robotics, smart security systems, and wide-angle video conferencing setups.
