1 Description
The U20-CAM-IMX298AF is a professional-grade 16-megapixel USB2.0 UVC camera module built around the genuine original Sony IMX298 Exmor RS sensor.
Equipped with a F2.0 aperture, 3.432 mm focal length, 88° DFoV low-distortion lens, it delivers natural field of view with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and minimum optical distortion — ideal for surveillance, industrial inspection, document scanning, video conferencing, medical imaging, AI vision and high-speed motion analysis applications.
Thanks to the large pixel size and advanced back-illuminated technology, it offers class-leading low-light sensitivity, ultra-low read noise and outstanding dynamic range.
Fully UVC compliant over USB 2.0, truly driver-free plug-and-play on Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Rockchip and all major embedded platforms. Rock-solid 4624×3468@10fps with zero frame drops.
