KEHIPI 8MP IMX179 USB Webcam 115° M12 Lens

This compact camera module uses an 8MP IMX179 sensor delivering up to 3264×2448 resolution at 30 fps in MJPG format. It connects via USB with UVC compliance for driver-free operation on Windows, Linux, Android, and Mac OS. A built-in single microphone handles basic audio capture. The 38 mm square board suits embedded installations and machine-vision projects.

Ideal for 3D printer monitoring

The 115° horizontal field of view covers wide areas from a small board, making it useful for printer enclosures, object recognition, or home monitoring. Manual focus lets you set the working distance precisely. Buyers needing autofocus, higher frame rates at full resolution in uncompressed formats, or stereo audio should consider other devices.

Plug-and-play USB with manual focus setup

Installation requires only plugging the supplied USB cable into a host device; no extra drivers are needed. The M12 lens must be rotated by hand to achieve sharp focus, which can be fiddly in confined mounts. Ensure the 38 mm board fits your enclosure and that the fixed 115° view angle suits the scene before finalising the install.

Questions about this item

Do I need to install any drivers before the IMX179 sensor will stream video?

No. The camera is UVC-compliant, so Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS recognise it immediately when you plug the USB cable in.

Will the 115° horizontal field of view still fit on my existing 38 mm × 38 mm mounting bracket?

Yes. The board itself measures 38 mm by 38 mm, so the wide-angle M12 lens sits within the same footprint you already use.

How can I confirm the camera is actually delivering 30 fps at 3264 × 2448 after I connect it?

Open AMCap or any UVC viewer, select the MJPG format at 3264 × 2448 and check the reported frame rate — it should read 30 fps.
