Sometimes you need a camera that just works—no complex drivers, no configuration headaches, just plug it in and start capturing. Our 12MP IMX378 USB Camera Module delivers exactly that, combining Sony's exceptional image sensor with true plug-and-play convenience and intelligent auto-focus.
Auto-Focus Changes Everything
Unlike fixed-focus modules that require manual adjustment, the IMX378 features intelligent auto-focus that continuously adapts to your subject. Whether you're building a face recognition system, developing a video conferencing solution, or creating a robotic vision platform, auto-focus ensures your images stay sharp without constant manual intervention.
True Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Thanks to standard UVC (USB Video Class) protocol support, this camera works instantly with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux—no drivers required. Simply connect via the USB Type-C port or the industrial-grade 1.0mm pitch terminal, and you're ready to capture. This universal compatibility makes it perfect for rapid prototyping and cross-platform development.
Professional Image Quality
The Sony IMX378 sensor delivers stunning 12-megapixel resolution with a large F1.79 aperture that excels in low-light conditions. With less than 1.5% distortion and a 79° field of view, you get accurate, natural-looking images ideal for computer vision applications, live streaming, and professional video capture.
Built-In Audio Bonus
An integrated microphone adds audio recording capability, making this module perfect for video conferencing systems, live streaming setups, and any application where synchronized audio and video matter. It's a complete multimedia solution in one compact package.
Compact Yet Capable
