8 Megapixels USB Camera (with Microphone)

This 8-megapixel USB camera module is built around the Sony IMX179 CMOS sensor, delivering up to 3264×2448 resolution with autofocus. It's driver-free via the UVC protocol — just plug in and start capturing HD photos and video on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.

The built-in digital microphone captures audio within a 5-metre radius, and the compact 38×38 mm form factor makes it easy to embed into enclosures or mount alongside a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano. A USB port design simplifies integration when your SBC is inside a protective case.
