U30-CAM-IMX230AF – 21MP USB3.0 UVC Ultra-Fast Autofocus Camera Module – Genuine Sony IMX230 The U30-CAM-IMX230AF is a professional-grade 21-megapixel USB3.0 UVC camera module built around the genuine original Sony IMX230 Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with 192-point on-chip phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) + high-performance VCM motor. It is equipped with a fast F1.79 aperture, 4.74mm focal length autofocus lens delivering 67.2° horizontal field of view (HFoV) and ultra-low optical distortion <1.5%, providing bright, sharp and natural-looking images across the entire frame. Ultra-fast and accurate autofocus (<0.3 s) combined with excellent low-light performance and native Staggered HDR makes it ideal for document scanning, medical imaging, high-end video conferencing, industrial inspection, AI vision and any application that demands both extreme resolution and reliable focusing speed.
Fully compliant with UVC 1.5 over USB 3.0 (5 Gbps), truly driver-free plug-and-play on Windows, Linux, Android, macOS, Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Rockchip and all major embedded platforms.
