Introduction

When a camera must cover a broad scene from a limited mounting distance, increasing resolution alone does not solve the viewing problem. The optical field of view has to match the area that the device actually needs to see.

This 720P USB camera module combines a wide H110° viewing angle with a Fixed Focus optical setup from approximately 60cm to infinity, providing a practical direction for devices that need broad scene coverage without Autofocus.

USB 2.0, MJPEG/YUV output and UVC support for Windows and Linux also make the module suitable for host systems that prefer a standard USB video architecture rather than a raw sensor interface. The uploaded V1.0 drawing identifies this configuration as SF-AOV9712USB-H110.

Applications in Real Devices

Interactive Display and Terminal Cameras

A camera mounted above or inside a display often has limited distance from the user or surrounding scene.

The H110° horizontal view helps capture a broader area without increasing the enclosure depth or moving the camera farther away.

Video Communication Devices

For desktop or embedded video terminals, the camera may need to include both the main subject and part of the surrounding scene.

720P at 30fps provides a practical live-video direction while the wide-angle lens increases usable coverage.

Kiosk and Self-Service Equipment

Kiosks may have a fixed camera mounting position while users stand at slightly different positions in front of the device.

A wider field of view can provide more tolerance in user positioning than a narrow-angle camera.

Embedded USB Viewing Systems

Devices based on Windows or Linux can use the UVC USB architecture as a direct video source without developing a separate MIPI sensor and ISP pipeline.

Project Evaluation Guide

Consider This Model When

A 720P USB camera module is sufficient for the image task.
The device needs broad horizontal scene coverage.
H110° FOV matches the installation geometry.
The target is normally 60cm or farther from the camera.
Fixed Focus is preferred over Autofocus.
Windows or Linux is used as the host platform.
USB 2.0 and UVC integration are preferred.
MJPEG or YUV output matches the host workflow.

Confirm Before Sampling

Actual camera-to-subject distance.
Required horizontal scene width.
Whether H110° makes the target too small in the frame.
Whether the high optical distortion is acceptable.
Required MJPEG/YUV video mode.
Host USB/UVC compatibility.
Available module width, height and lens depth.
5Pin connector and cable routing.

Choosing This Model Within the USB Camera Module Series

This model represents the 720P wide-angle, fixed-distance USB direction.

Choose it when the project needs more scene coverage than a standard-angle VGA or 720P camera while maintaining a simple UVC USB architecture.

Compared with narrower-FOV USB models, its main advantage is not additional resolution but the ability to capture a larger scene from the same camera position.

Compared with ultra-wide VGA products such as SF-SCVGA-MY-V1.0, it provides a higher 1280×720 output while retaining a wide-angle optical direction.

Related Models

SF-SCVGA-MY-V1.0
Consider this model when D150° ultra-wide coverage is more important than moving from VGA to 720P resolution.

SF-C0319USB-WH01 V1.0
Consider this model when a narrower D60° viewing direction and a defined 45–100cm working range better match the target.

SincereFirst Customization

Lens and Viewing Angle

The lens and FOV can be evaluated according to the required scene width, installation distance and target size when H110° is wider or narrower than the final device needs.

Focus Distance

The Fixed Focus position can be reviewed according to the actual camera-to-target distance when the standard 60cm-to-infinity setup does not match the application.

Module and Mechanical Structure

Module outline, mounting-hole layout, lens position and available depth can be evaluated according to the enclosure and front-panel design.

USB and Connector Integration

Cable length, connector direction, 5Pin definition and MJPEG/YUV output requirements can be reviewed according to the Windows or Linux host architecture.

Final configuration should be validated with the actual host platform, enclosure, optics, software, and lighting environment before sampling.

FAQ

When should I choose H110° instead of a narrower USB camera?

Choose H110° when the camera needs to capture more horizontal scene area from a fixed installation position.

If the target itself needs to occupy more of the frame, a narrower FOV may provide a better result.

Is 720P enough for kiosk or interactive terminal imaging?

It depends on what the system needs to see.

For live viewing and general user capture, 720P may be sufficient. For fine recognition, document detail or small-object inspection, the required target pixels should be evaluated separately.

Is this module suitable for close-range imaging?

The standard focus range begins at approximately 60cm.

If the target is significantly closer, another focus configuration should be evaluated.

Does the wide-angle lens introduce distortion?

Yes.

The drawing specifies TV distortion below -88%, so this optical configuration prioritizes wide coverage rather than low geometric distortion.

It should not be selected for measurement or geometry-sensitive applications without separate evaluation.

Why use MJPEG instead of YUV?

MJPEG can reduce USB bandwidth by compressing the image stream, while YUV provides less-compressed image data.

The correct format depends on host bandwidth and downstream image processing.

Can another 5Pin USB camera directly replace this module?

No.

Pin count alone does not establish compatibility. Connector pitch, pin definition, mechanical position, UVC implementation and optical configuration must all be checked.

Request Project Evaluation

If your device needs a 720P wide-angle USB camera for targets beyond approximately 60cm, provide the working distance, required scene width, available camera space and host USB requirements.

SincereFirst can help determine whether the H110° configuration gives the right balance between scene coverage and target size before sampling.
