At present, the MIPI CSI interface used by most embedded cameras is high-speed and stable, but the compatibility and convenience are far less than the USB interface compatible with the UVC protocol. And under the premise of MIPI CSI interface, many platforms to use the camera needs supporting drivers and software, such as libcamera on the Raspberry Pi, V4L driver on Ubuntu, etc.

Our first attempt was to adapt the UVC adapter board on the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, through which the UVC protocol support and communication can be realized. The same is true for the IMX708 UVC camera, which we adapted so you can use it as a webcam.

The camera is equipped with a 120°(D)x102°(H)x67°(V) Fixed Focus Lens and On-Board Audio. It is compatible with Windows, Linux, Android, MAC, and so on. You don't need to install any additional drivers other than the device driver, which is a truly convenient camera.

Features:

Compatible with All Platforms: Adopting UVC protocol, compatible with various platforms and operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, etc.
Plug and Play: Only the USB device driver needs to be installed, no additional drivers are needed depending on the platform. Just plug-and-play after the installation is completed.
High-Quality Images: Based on SONY 12MP IMX708 Image Sensor. Max Resolution: 4608x2592. The high resolution allows you to get sharper and more recognizable images at a greater distance.
Wide Angle: Equipped with a 102° Wide Angle Fixed Focus Lens. Wide-angle Lens allows you to use the camera to get a wider field of view, especially for wide-area projects.
Audio Function: We have equipped this USB UVC camera kit with a microphone module that supports High-Quality audio input/output.
