Product Description

The 1/4" CMOS 640x480 USB Camera is a highly portable imaging solution specifically curated for space-constrained projects and mobile robotics. Featuring a unique 75cm collapsible cable mechanism, it eliminates wire tangles while providing enough reach for versatile mounting. The camera utilizes a driverless USB UVC protocol, making it instantly compatible with Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, and standard laptops. Its lightweight profile and VGA resolution make it an excellent choice for basic computer vision tasks like face detection or remote monitoring.

Key Features

  • Retractable Cable Management: The integrated 75cm collapsible cable allows you to adjust the length as needed, keeping your project enclosure clean and organized.

  • Driverless Setup: Fully compliant with USB Video Class (UVC) standards; simply plug it into a USB port and start capturing without installing additional software.

  • Energy Efficient: The 1/4" CMOS sensor is designed for low power consumption, ensuring it doesn't drain your Raspberry Pi’s power rail during portable operation.

  • Ultra-Compact Design: One of the smallest USB camera modules available, making it ideal for integration into small robot heads or hidden security housings.

  • Stable Mounting: The flat base design allows for easy attachment to flat surfaces using double-sided tape or 3D-printed brackets.

Technical Details

  • Lens Focus: Fixed focus (Optimized for 0.5m to infinity).

  • Video Format: MJPEG / YUY2.

  • Current Draw: ~100mA to 150mA during active streaming.

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Lighting for CMOS: CMOS sensors perform best in well-lit environments. If you are using this for computer vision (like OpenCV), ensure your subject is illuminated with a consistent light source to reduce "grain" or digital noise in the 640x480 feed.

  • Cable Tension Care: When extending the collapsible cable, pull from both ends simultaneously and stop when you feel resistance. Do not over-extend, as this can damage the internal spring mechanism or strain the delicate internal wires.

  • Raspberry Pi OS Setup: On Raspberry Pi, you can quickly test this camera by installing fswebcam. Run the command fswebcam image.jpg in the terminal to verify the hardware is detected and capturing correctly.

  • USB Hub Usage: If you are connecting multiple cameras to a single Raspberry Pi, use a high-quality powered USB hub. Multiple video streams can saturate the USB bus bandwidth and exceed the Pi's onboard power limits.

Package Includes

  • 1 x 1/4" CMOS 640x480 USB Camera with 75cm Collapsible Cable

Disclaimer: Ensure the camera is protected from static discharge during handling. This module is not waterproof; avoid exposure to moisture or high-humidity environments. For best performance, use a USB 2.0 port or higher.
