Introduction
SF8A987-88 is an 8MP USB 3.0 camera module for embedded vision devices that require 4K video at higher frame rates, multiple processed-video formats and a defined Fixed-Focus route.
It uses a 1/1.8-inch IMX678 sensor with 2.0μm pixels and supports MJPG, YUY2 and H.264 output. The 38 × 38mm dual-layer PCB includes a USB 3.0 Type-C connection and is designed for UVC-based host integration. The specification lists a 1cm-to-infinity imaging range.
Applications in Real Devices
High-Speed Industrial Observation
The 4K@60FPS output can be evaluated for industrial observation equipment where frame-to-frame continuity matters alongside image detail. Actual capture stability depends on host bandwidth, software and storage performance.
Detailed Component Inspection
The 1/1.8-inch sensor format and 2.0μm pixel size provide a different imaging route from smaller 1/2.8-inch USB modules. Lens, working distance and illumination should be selected according to the required inspection area.
Document and Text-Capture Equipment
The 8MP resolution can support terminals that capture printed content, labels or coded information. Final readability depends on lens FOV, focus setting, exposure and target distance.
Project Evaluation Guide
Consider This Model When
- The device requires 4K@60FPS through USB 3.0.
- H.264 output is required alongside MJPG or YUY2.
- A 1/1.8-inch sensor route is preferred.
- A Fixed-Focus optical configuration matches the device.
Confirm Before Sampling
- Required output format at 4K resolution.
- Host USB 3.0 bandwidth and Type-C connection.
- Target distance and required FOV.
- Lens mount, optical format and enclosure opening.
- Available space for the 38 × 38mm dual-layer PCB.
- Filter requirement and intended lighting environment.
- SDK or development-interface requirements.
Choosing This Model Within the 4K USB Camera Module Series
SF8A987-88 is positioned as the IMX678 high-frame-rate Fixed-Focus route within the 4K USB Camera Module Series. Its main selection differences are the 1/1.8-inch sensor format, 2.0μm pixel size and MJPG/H.264 4K@60FPS capability.
Projects requiring an IMX415 platform with HDR may compare SF8A625-88. Projects requiring VCM Autofocus rather than Fixed Focus may evaluate SF8A824.

SincereFirst Customization
Lens Mount and FOV
M12 and C/CS lens directions can be evaluated for the 1/1.8-inch sensor format. The final focal length and FOV should be selected according to the target scene, working distance and enclosure opening.
Fixed-Focus Configuration
The standard configuration uses Fixed Focus with a stated imaging range from 1cm to infinity. The focus position can be reviewed when the device has a specific target plane or installation distance.
Dual-Layer PCB, Type-C and Housing
The 38 × 38mm dual-layer PCB, Type-C connector position, board height and optional industrial housing can be evaluated against the available device space and mounting structure.
USB 3.0, Output Formats and SDK
MJPG, YUY2 and H.264 modes, USB bandwidth, SDK requirements and compatibility with DirectShow, Halcon,
OpenCV or LabView can be reviewed with the target host platform.
Final configuration should be validated with the actual host platform, enclosure, optics, software, and lighting environment before sampling.
FAQ
Which formats support 4K@60FPS?
The specification lists 4K@60FPS for MJPG and H.264. YUY2 is listed at 24FPS for 3840 × 2160.
Does this model use Autofocus?
No. The confirmed configuration uses Fixed Focus.
What filter is supplied?
The module provides a full-spectrum response and is shipped with an IR650 filter by default. Alternative filter directions can be evaluated for the project.
Does the page claim HDR or STARVIS 2?
No. Those functions are not included because they are not confirmed for this product configuration.
