Description The Waveshare OV5693 5MP USB Camera (B) is a slim USB 2.0 camera module built around the OV5693 image sensor. Its 8.5 × 60.2 mm board, 75° field of view and motor-driven autofocus suit compact vision projects where a narrow camera board is easier to mount than a conventional square module. This OV5693 USB camera captures still images at 2592 × 1944 and supports MJPG or YUY2 video. The product specification lists 1920 × 1080 video at 30 fps and 2592 × 1944 at 15 fps. Windows, Linux and macOS support is listed in the product wiki. Notice: Raspberry Pi and Jetson connection pictures illustrate possible host setups; the package list specifies one camera module, not those host boards. In practical applications, camera capture or processing may need software such as OpenCV. Avoid touching components on the back of the PCB while the camera is operating. Features 5 MP imaging: OV5693 sensor with 2592 × 1944 still-image resolution. Autofocus: an onboard micromotor adjusts focus without manual lens rotation. USB 2.0 connection: the OV5693 USB camera works with common USB camera workflows on compatible hosts. Compact shape: the narrow 8.5 × 60.2 mm board fits space-constrained installations. Video formats: MJPG and YUY2 are supported; 1080p at 30 fps is listed in the product specification.
