15.6" & 21.5" CAMERA MODULE

The MicroTouch CAM-000-A1 is a compact camera module identified for 15.6-inch and 21.5-inch configurations. It captures FHD 1920 x 1080 video at 30 fps through a 1/6-inch CMOS sensor with a 1920(H) x 1080(V) active array. The module combines fixed-focus optics, YUY2 and MJPG output formats, USB 5.0 V input, and a black housing measuring 35 x 6 x 5.35 mm. Its net weight is 0.018 kg.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is suited to integrated camera applications requiring FHD 1080p capture at 30 fps within a small physical footprint. Its fixed-focus design is appropriate for installations where the camera position and subject distance can be established during integration. The specified focus distance is 60 cm, with a stated focus range from 31 cm to 1424 cm. Support for YUY2 and MJPG image output gives system designers two documented output formats to consider when planning image handling.

Why Choose This Model

The CAM-000-A1 combines a detailed optical specification with compact dimensions and low net weight. Its lens uses four plastic elements with an IR Filter (5E), an effective focal length of 1.87 mm ±15%, and an F number of 2.0 ±15%. TV distortion is specified at no more than 1.5%. The listed viewing measurements are 77.5° ±15% diagonal, 69.7° ±15% horizontal, and 42.8° ±15% vertical, accompanied by a mechanical measurement of 83.5° ±15%.

Installation and Integration

At 35 x 6 x 5.35 mm, the module provides clearly defined dimensions for enclosure and mounting planning. Input voltage is specified as USB 5.0 V ±250 mV. The package includes the camera and two screws, supplying the listed module and mounting hardware together. The fixed-focus optical system removes the need to specify a separate focus mechanism, but the 60 cm focus distance and 31 cm to 1424 cm focus range should be evaluated against the intended camera-to-subject distance. The documented operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

Performance Highlights

FHD resolution is delivered at 1920 x 1080 and 30 fps. The 1/6-inch CMOS sensor has a 1080p active array of 1920 horizontal by 1080 vertical pixels, with a stated pixel size of 1.4 um x 1.4 um. Optical specifications include an IR wavelength at T50% of 650 nm ±10 nm and the four-plastic-element lens assembly with IR filtering. Horizontal and vertical lens shift are each listed at 5%. Together with the stated viewing measurements and focus range, these values provide concrete parameters for assessing framing and optical placement before integration.

What Makes It Different

The CAM-000-A1 provides more than a basic resolution rating. Its source specifications identify sensor size, active array, pixel size, lens construction, focal length, F number, distortion limit, focus behavior, directional viewing measurements, IR wavelength, output formats, voltage tolerance, dimensions, weight, and operating temperature. This level of documented optical and physical information helps distinguish whether the module fits a defined installation. The product is also listed as compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements.

Final Assessment

The MicroTouch CAM-000-A1 is a focused option for applications calling for a 15.6-inch or 21.5-inch camera module with FHD 1080p capture at 30 fps. Its principal strengths are its compact 35 x 6 x 5.35 mm form, 0.018 kg net weight, documented fixed-focus range, YUY2 and MJPG output, and detailed lens and sensor specifications. It is best evaluated where fixed focus, USB 5.0 V input, the stated viewing measurements, and the supplied camera-and-screw package align with the planned integration.
