A compact 2MP USB UVC camera using Sony’s IMX291 sensor to deliver smooth 1080p video, even in low-light conditions. With a 120° wide-angle lens, metal enclosure, and built-in microphone, it connects via USB and works out of the box with multiple operating systems.
The Arducam B020201 is a compact 2MP USB camera built around Sony’s 1/2.8′ IMX291 sensor, designed for low-light environments and wide field-of-view applications. It features a durable metal enclosure and a 120° diagonal viewing angle, making it well-suited for security, embedded vision, or general video capture use. The camera connects via USB 2.0 and includes a built-in microphone for audio support.
Output options include MJPG, YUY2, and H.264 formats, with 1080p resolution supported at up to 30fps (depending on format). It delivers reliable performance in a wide range of lighting conditions, thanks to its 80dB dynamic range and automatic control of contrast, saturation, white balance and exposure. An integrated IR-cut filter ensures the camera is only sensitive to visible light.
The module is fully UVC compliant, requiring no additional drivers, and supports Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android systems. A 1m USB cable is included, and the camera draws power directly from USB (5V, max 300mA).
