Arducam 12MP IMX708 USB-C UVC Fixed-Focus Camera Module with Microphone
This camera module for the Raspberry Pi uses the same IMX708 sensor and footprint as the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, however Arducan has given it a bit of a remix with USB-C UVC connection, a fixed focus lens and a built-in microphone!
The USB-C UVC connection means you can use this camera module as a USB webcam, with all the plug n’ play convenience you expect. Use it on your Raspberry Pi, Windows machine, Linux, Mac and more! The module has a small built-in microphone as well, making this a great ‘hacky’ webcam alternative!
The 66° (HFOV) fixed-focus lens offers an alternative to the autofocus on the RPi Camera Module 3, offering faster focussing speed and a more stable image quality.
The camera comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable to go with it.
We also stock a wide-angle version here!
