KEHIPI IMX291 1080p 160° Fisheye USB 2.0 Webcam Board with Microphone

IMX291 160° Fisheye USB 2.0 Board

The KEHIPI IMX291 is a compact USB 2.0 camera board built around a 1/2.8" 2 megapixel Sony IMX291 CMOS sensor. It delivers 1080p video at up to 30 fps in MJPG or H.264 formats and features a fixed 160-degree diagonal fisheye M12 lens with an IR filter. A single onboard microphone captures audio, and the 3.3 ft cable provides power and data over a standard USB connection with UVC plug-and-play support across Windows, Linux, Android and macOS.

Makers needing hemispherical coverage.

This board suits robotics, machine vision, dashcam, 3D printer monitoring or tight-space surveillance builds where an ultra-wide 160° field of view is required and the fisheye distortion is acceptable. It is not for users who need a conventional rectilinear webcam view for video calls, streaming or content creation where straight lines must remain straight and facial framing is natural.

160° diagonal fisheye M12 lens

The defining specification is the fixed 160-degree diagonal fisheye M12 lens, which determines the hemispherical perspective and close 6.5 cm minimum focus distance. This optical characteristic cannot be changed in software and dictates whether the module fits the intended enclosure and application.
