Product Overview

The IFWATER Ultra HD IMX317 Sensor Webcam is a great option for professionals who need high quality video production and surveillance. This USB webcam comes with a sony IMX317 image sensor, manual varifocal 2.8 12mm lens, and a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 30fps MJPEG. It has MJPEG/YUY2 two picture formats, fast transmission, and a low color reproduction deviation for crystal clear image quality.

This camera is plug and play, so no driver installation is necessary simply plug it into your computer s USB port to get started. It s compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 Linux with UVC about linux 2.6.26 Mac OSX 10.4.8 or later and Android 4.0 or above with UVC. This makes it the perfect choice for conference calls or distance meetings as it is easy to use and provides great picture quality and clarity.

The IFWATER Ultra HD IMX317 Sensor Webcam is also great for industrial uses such as machine vision, 3D scanners, VR cameras, electronic microscopes, medical machines, biological microscopes, face recognition medical auxiliary equipment etc., as the low color reproduction deviation ensures accurate information in all applications. It can also be used to take extremely close up shots due to its 2160P ultra hd optical zoom lens and high quality images regardless of the software or screen resolution which may only support 1080P or 720P.

Overall I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality web camera that can be used in both professional and personal settings. The image quality is outstanding and the ease of installation makes it very user friendly. Additionally the compatibility across all major operating systems makes it a great universal choice for all types of users from casual to pro level video production.
