It uses the USB Video Class (UVC) standard, meaning it is plug-and-play on Windows XP through 8, Linux (kernel 2.6.26 and above), macOS 10.4.8 or later, and Android 4.0+ with UVC support. Simply connect it via the included USB cable and your operating system will recognise it automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What is the difference between the 78° and 100° field-of-view options?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The selectable field of view lets you tailor the camera's coverage to your project needs. The 78° option is ideal for focused tasks like document scanning, facial recognition, and machine vision where precision matters. The wider 100° option captures a broader scene, making it well suited for overhead monitoring, drone photography, and surveillance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What image parameters can I adjust on this camera module?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The IMX179 camera module supports a comprehensive range of adjustable parameters, including brightness, contrast, colour saturation, hue, sharpness, white balance, backlight compensation, and exposure. These settings allow you to optimise image quality across a wide variety of lighting conditions and environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What are the physical dimensions and power requirements?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The module measures a compact 38 × 38 × 18.5 mm, making it easy to integrate into tight spaces and custom enclosures. It is powered directly via USB at 5V and draws only 80–120mA, ensuring low power consumption — ideal for battery-operated or embedded systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- production-packaging-notice --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Packaging Notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain high stock availability and fast shipping times, our items are sourced from multiple verified manufacturing facilities.
