Auto Focus & Fixed Focus 8MP USB Camera Module with SONY IMX179 Sensor
High-performance 8 Megapixel USB camera module featuring the Sony IMX179 CMOS sensor. This best-selling module delivers exceptional image quality and unique design flexibility — you can switch between auto focus and fixed focus using the same control board, simply by changing the lens part.
Why This Dual-Focus 8MP Camera Module is Popular
- Two focus options in one module: Most USB camera modules offer either auto focus OR fixed focus. Our design allows both — keeping the same control board, just replace the lens part to meet your application needs.
- Modular 3-part structure for easy integration: Control board (70mm x 18mm, customizable) + Lens on flexible PCB (110mm length) + USB cable (50cm to 2 meters). The flexible PCB gives you maximum freedom to fit into compact machines, wearable devices, or embedded systems.
