Shenzhen Merrillchip Electronics Co., Ltd. has introduced the FJ2W2510210, a compact USB camera module designed for embedded vision applications that require a wide field of view in a relatively small installation space.
The camera module combines a 2MP CMOS image sensor, Full HD video output, USB 2.0 connectivity and a fixed-focus ultra-wide-angle lens. With an approximately 175° diagonal field of view, the module is designed for equipment that needs to capture a broad area rather than focus on long-distance imaging.
The FJ2W2510210 uses a 1/2.8-inch OS02K10 CMOS image sensor with 2.9μm × 2.9μm pixel size. It provides 1920×1080 video output at 30 frames per second in JPEG format.
The combination of Full HD resolution and a compact module size makes the camera suitable for embedded products where available space and real-time image acquisition are important design considerations.
Rather than being designed as a conventional standalone webcam, the FJ2W2510210 is intended for integration into equipment and electronic products.
One of the main characteristics of the FJ2W2510210 is its approximately 175° diagonal field of view.
The wide-angle optical configuration allows the camera to capture a larger surrounding area from a relatively close installation position. This can be useful in products such as robots, AGVs, inspection equipment, smart doorbells and embedded vision terminals.
The module uses a fixed-focus 3.1mm lens with an F/2.2 aperture. The specified object distance is approximately 120mm, making the lens configuration suitable for applications where the camera is positioned relatively close to the target area.
The ultra-wide-angle design also introduces geometric distortion. According to the published specifications, TV distortion is below -28%, so software-based image correction may be considered when required by the final product.
The FJ2W2510210 uses a standard USB 2.0 interface and is powered directly through the USB connection.
The module operates from a 5V USB supply and has a specified power consumption of no more than 200mA. This eliminates the need for a separate power connection in typical USB-powered applications and can simplify wiring during product integration.
The USB interface also makes the camera suitable for connection to industrial computers, embedded computers and other USB vision systems.
Robotics is one of the potential application areas for the FJ2W2510210.
A wide-angle front-view camera can provide robots and AGVs with a broader image of their immediate surroundings. The compact form factor also allows the camera to be integrated into equipment where installation space is limited.
The module can be used for front-view imaging, environmental observation and other embedded vision functions depending on the system design.
The wide field of view can also be useful in inspection equipment that needs to monitor nearby objects or a relatively large area.
Industrial computers and USB vision terminals can connect to the camera through its USB 2.0 interface. The 1080P output provides a practical image resolution for applications where Full HD acquisition is sufficient and higher-resolution sensors are not required.
The suitability of the camera for a specific inspection system depends on factors such as working distance, lighting, image-processing requirements and the desired field of view.
The FJ2W2510210 can also be considered for smart home and interactive electronic products.
Potential applications include smart doorbells, video intercom systems, interactive displays and other devices where a broad viewing angle is useful.
For doorway and interactive applications, the wide field of view can help cover a larger area around the camera installation point compared with a conventional narrow-angle lens.
The FJ2W2510210 does not include an IR-CUT filter and is primarily intended for normal visible-light applications.
This configuration is suitable for standard indoor and general visible-light environments where infrared night vision is not a primary requirement.
Products requiring IR illumination or day-and-night switching may require a different optical configuration.
The specified operating temperature range of the camera module is -30°C to 70°C.
During product development, the camera position, enclosure opening, viewing direction and distance from the target should be considered as part of the mechanical design.
Because the lens is fixed focus, the installation distance should also be evaluated according to the required image clarity. The approximately 120mm object distance can be used as a reference during product design.
For USB-based vision products, the host system should also be evaluated for USB compatibility, video processing capability and available system resources.
The FJ2W2510210 uses a 1/2.8-inch OS02K10 CMOS sensor and provides 1920×1080 resolution at 30fps. The module uses USB 2.0 connectivity and 5V bus power, with power consumption of up to 200mA.
The optical system includes a fixed-focus 3.1mm lens with an F/2.2 aperture and approximately 175° diagonal field of view. The module uses CSP packaging and supports SMT assembly.
The operating temperature is specified from -30°C to 70°C, while the camera is primarily designed for visible-light applications.
The camera module can be considered for robots, AGVs, inspection equipment, smart doorbells, video intercoms, industrial computers, USB vision terminals, embedded devices, interactive displays, vehicle auxiliary vision systems, smart home products and IoT devices.
It can also be used as an image acquisition module for wide-angle imaging, VR and panoramic vision systems where the application can accommodate the optical characteristics of an ultra-wide-angle lens.
