Introduction
SF-SQ8A987-86 is an 8MP dual-output camera module for devices that need both host-side USB video and direct HDMI display. It combines a 1/1.8-inch IMX678 sensor, 2.0μm pixels, Fixed Focus and 4K@30FPS output with STARVIS 2, HDR and NIR capabilities. The 38 × 38mm dual-layer PCB supports USB 3.0 Type-C, HDMI, MJPG, YUY2 and H.264 integration.
The specification confirms the IMX678 sensor, 38 × 38mm structure, 1/1.8-inch format, 2.0μm pixels, USB 3.0 Type-C, HDMI, UVC and the three output formats.
Applications in Real Devices
Industrial Display and Recording Equipment
The 1/1.8-inch sensor and 2.0μm pixels provide an imaging route for equipment observing machinery, production areas or larger components. Lens, illumination and mounting distance should be matched to the actual field of view.
Smart Display Terminals
The dual-interface structure can support terminals that require local HDMI preview and USB-based capture or recording. The final enclosure must accommodate the dual-layer PCB and connector positions.
Project Evaluation Guide
Consider This Model When
- The device requires both USB 3.0 and HDMI interfaces.
- A 1/1.8-inch sensor with 2.0μm pixels is preferred.
- HDR or NIR imaging is required for the target environment.
- H.264 output and 4K@30FPS meet the system requirements.
Confirm Before Sampling
- Whether USB, HDMI or both interfaces will be used.
- Required resolution and format for each output route.
- Target FOV, lens mount and Fixed-Focus distance.
- HDR scene conditions and expected exposure behavior.
- NIR illumination wavelength and filter configuration.
- Dual-layer PCB height, connector access and thermal conditions.
Choosing This Model Within the 4K USB Camera Module Series
SF-SQ8A987-86 occupies the IMX678 dual-interface position within the 4K USB Camera Module Series. It may be considered when HDMI display, USB capture, HDR and NIR are required in the same project. Devices that need USB-only integration with a higher 4K frame rate may compare SF8A987-88. Projects that retain USB and HDMI but use a smaller IMX415 sensor platform may evaluate SF-SQ8A625-86.

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 FOV should be matched to the observation area, working distance and enclosure opening.
Fixed Focus and Filter Configuration
The standard route uses Fixed Focus from 1cm to infinity. Focus position, IR650 filtering and alternative filter directions can be reviewed according to visible-light or NIR imaging requirements.
Dual-Layer PCB and Interface Routing
The 38 × 38mm dual-layer PCB, Type-C position, HDMI access, board height and optional housing can be coordinated with the device enclosure and display connection.
HDR, NIR and Output Modes
HDR settings, NIR illumination, MJPG/YUY2/H.264 modes, USB bandwidth and HDMI output requirements can be reviewed with the final lighting and host environment.
Final configuration should be validated with the actual host platform, enclosure, optics, software, and lighting environment before sampling.
FAQ
Why choose this model instead of SF8A987-88?
Choose this model when HDMI is required in addition to USB. SF8A987-88 is the USB-only alternative with a higher confirmed 4K frame rate.
Does the module support HDR and NIR?
Yes. HDR and NIR are confirmed capabilities. NIR performance still depends on the illumination wavelength, lens, filter and image settings.
Can USB and HDMI requirements be evaluated together?
Yes. The module provides both interfaces, but the required operating modes and any simultaneous-output conditions should be confirmed during project evaluation.
Does it use Autofocus?
No. The standard configuration uses Fixed Focus with a stated imaging distance from 1cm to infinity.
