Introduction

Many OEM customers do not need the highest-resolution endoscope camera module. They need a camera that can clearly show the inspection target, fit the device structure, provide enough light in a dark space and work at the actual viewing distance.

The SF-YL745-V2 is a D4.5 integrated USB endoscope camera module designed for basic close-range visual inspection. It uses the GC1009 1MP sensor, supports YUV / MJPEG output at 1280×720@30fps, includes 6 LEDs, uses a plastic lens, provides a 70° FOV and supports a 30–80mm focusing range.

Its main value is practical: it gives customers a clearer image than basic VGA modules while keeping a compact endoscope camera structure for OEM inspection devices.

Why 1MP Can Be a Practical Middle Choice

Endoscope camera module selection is often a balance.

A 0.3MP module may be enough for very simple visual confirmation, but some customers find that VGA-level images do not show enough detail.

A 2MP, 5MP or higher-resolution module may provide stronger image detail, but it may increase cost, system requirements and integration complexity.

The SF-YL745-V2 sits in a practical middle position.

It provides 1MP-class imaging with 1280×720@30fps output. This can be suitable for customers who need clearer live observation than 0.3MP modules, but do not need high-resolution documentation, AI recognition or measurement-level inspection.

Product Overview

The SF-YL745-V2 is an integrated USB endoscope camera module.

Key specifications include:

D4.5 camera diameter

GC1009 sensor

1MP imaging class

ALL integrated type

USB output

YUV / MJPEG format

1280×720@30fps

6pcs LEDs

Plastic lens

70° FOV

30–80mm focusing range

IP67: No

Dimming: No

Type-A / Type-C connection options

The catalog does not clearly list front length, standard cable length, maximum cable length or main board size for this model. These details should be confirmed during project communication if they are important to the final device design.

Customer Pain Point 1: “VGA Is Not Clear Enough, but We Do Not Need High-End Imaging”

Many customers start with a lower-resolution camera module for cost or size reasons. After testing, they may find that the image is too limited for practical use.

The SF-YL745-V2 provides a 1MP imaging option with 1280×720@30fps output. This can help customers improve live image usability without immediately moving to a larger or higher-spec camera module.

It is suitable when the user needs to see:

Component position

Visible blockage

Foreign objects

Basic surface condition

Internal structure

Assembly status

General cavity condition

It is not intended for fine crack detection, precision measurement or high-detail medical documentation.

Customer Pain Point 2: “We Need Built-In Light Inside a Dark Space”

Endoscope cameras often work inside enclosed areas where external light cannot reach the target.

The SF-YL745-V2 includes 6 LEDs to support local illumination.

This can help improve visibility in dark cavities, inspection channels and compact internal spaces.

However, the catalog marks dimming as No. This means customers should test the LED effect under real conditions, especially if the target surface is wet, shiny, metallic or curved.

Fixed LED brightness can be acceptable when the target surface is stable and not highly reflective.

Customer Pain Point 3: “We Need to Focus on the Target, Not See the Whole Environment”

Some customers ask for the widest possible FOV, but ultra-wide viewing is not always the best choice.

The SF-YL745-V2 provides a 70° FOV.

This is more focused than many 100° to 140° endoscope camera modules. It can be useful when the customer needs to observe a defined target area rather than navigate through a wide cavity.

A 70° FOV may be suitable when the user already knows where the target is and needs a clearer local view of that area.

Customer Pain Point 4: “The Working Distance Must Match the Real Device”

The listed focusing range is 30–80mm.

This is one of the most important selection points for this model.

If the target is usually 10mm from the lens, this module may not be the right fit. If the target is usually 150mm away, another model may also be more suitable.

Before requesting samples, customers should measure:

Minimum normal working distance

Typical operating distance

Maximum expected distance

Whether the device controls the distance

Whether the user moves the probe during operation

A 1MP image at the correct distance can be more useful than a higher-resolution camera used outside its intended focus range.

Customer Pain Point 5: “We Need USB Integration but Are Not Sure About Host Compatibility”

The module supports USB output and offers Type-A / Type-C connection options.

This can help customers evaluate different host systems or product structures.

However, connector type alone does not guarantee compatibility with every computer, tablet or mobile device. Customers should test the module with the actual host system, software and device workflow before final approval.

Suitable Applications

The SF-YL745-V2 can be evaluated for:

Industrial cavity inspection

Machinery internal observation

Equipment maintenance tools

Component position checking

Portable USB inspection devices

Automotive service inspection

Appliance repair visual tools

OEM close-range inspection systems

Basic medical or veterinary visualization device evaluation may be possible at component level, but final compliance, safety testing and certification should be handled at the complete-device level.

When This Module Is a Good Fit

Choose this model when your project needs:

D4.5 camera diameter

1MP image output

1280×720@30fps live video

USB integration

Built-in 6pcs LEDs

70° focused FOV

30–80mm working distance

Integrated camera structure

Type-A or Type-C connection option

Basic close-range visual inspection

It is especially suitable when the customer needs clearer imaging than VGA but does not need a high-resolution inspection platform.

When Another Module May Be Better

Another model may be better when the project needs:

IP67 waterproof support

LED brightness adjustment

Wider FOV for navigation

Very close focus below 30mm

Longer viewing distance beyond 80mm

2MP, 5MP or higher image detail

AI recognition

Measurement-level defect inspection

A finished plug-and-play endoscope device

The right decision should be based on the actual inspection task, not only the pixel count.

Sample Testing Recommendations

After receiving samples, customers should test:

Image clarity at 30–80mm

Whether 1MP is enough for the target

LED brightness in the real cavity

Reflection from real surfaces

70° FOV coverage

Host compatibility

YUV / MJPEG output behavior

Type-A or Type-C connection

Mechanical fit

Environmental protection requirements

The sample should be tested with the real target or a close simulation, not only on a desktop chart.

RFQ Checklist

Before requesting a quotation, provide:

Application scenario

Target object

Required camera diameter

Actual working distance

Image detail requirement

Target surface material

Need for focused or wide view

Lighting condition

Need for dimming

Waterproof requirement

Host system

Connection preference

Sample quantity

Estimated production volume

Mechanical constraints if available

Conclusion

The SF-YL745-V2 is a practical D4.5 1MP USB endoscope camera module for basic close-range visual inspection.

Its value is the balance between compact size, clearer image output than VGA, built-in LED illumination, 70° focused viewing and 30–80mm working distance.

For OEM customers who need practical live observation without over-specifying the imaging system, this model can be a useful option.
