Waveshare OV5693 5MP USB Camera (A) – 5MP M12 Camera Module with Auto Focus & Dual Microphones
The Waveshare OV5693 5MP USB Camera (A) is a compact 5MP M12 USB camera module designed for applications that require high-resolution imaging, automatic focusing, and integrated audio capture. It uses the OV5693 sensor with a 1/4-inch sensor size, F/2.1 aperture, and 2.5 mm effective focal length, providing a wide 135° diagonal, 95° horizontal, and 70° vertical field of view.
The camera delivers still images up to 2592 × 1944 and supports MJPG and YUY2 video formats. For MJPG recording, it supports 2592 × 1944, 1920 × 1080, and 1280 × 720 at 15 FPS, while YUY2 supports 2592 × 1944 at 3 FPS, 1920 × 1080 at 5 FPS, 1280 × 720 at 10 FPS, and 640 × 480 at 15 FPS. Its auto-focus function helps maintain image clarity across changing subject distances, while the onboard dual microphones add convenient audio capture for multimedia and vision-based projects.
The module uses a USB 2.0 interface, operates from 5V ± 5%, draws 500mA, and measures 18.00 × 40.00 mm, making it a practical choice for Raspberry Pi camera projects, computer vision, robotics, AI vision applications, video conferencing, and DIY embedded camera systems.
