What is a USB camera module?

USB camera module is a device that allows users to capture images and videos using a USB connection. It is a common component in various applications such as security systems, video conferencing, and computer vision.
The module is easy to use, lightweight, and compact, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications. The process of installing and using the USB camera module is simple, and it is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Components of the USB camera module

Lens: responsible for collecting light and focusing it onto the image sensor.

Image sensor: a photosensitive element that converts light signals into electrical signals according to the intensity of light. The current mainstream image sensors are CCD (charge-coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor), among which CMOS image sensors are widely used due to their low cost, low power consumption and high degree of integration.

Camera control chip: responsible for converting the analog signal output by the image sensor into a digital signal and encoding it so that it can be recognized and processed by the computer.

USB interface: used to connect to a computer or other device to achieve data transmission.
