1. What is the SF-C2017USB-1500P V1.0?

The SF-C2017USB-1500P V1.0 is a D4.0 separate-type USB endoscope camera module using the OCH2B10 2MP sensor platform.

It supports YUV / MJPEG output with a maximum listed output of 1500×1500.

2. What is the main value of this model?

Its main value is the combination of:

D4.0 compact camera head

2MP imaging

1500×1500 square-format output

140° diagonal FOV

8–100mm focusing range

USB output

Separate-type OEM integration

It is especially relevant to projects that need wide-area viewing and balanced image dimensions.

3. What does 1500P mean for this model?

For this product, the catalog lists a maximum output of 1500×1500.

Customers should use the confirmed pixel dimensions when discussing image output rather than assuming a standard 16:9 “1500P” video format.

4. Is 1500×1500 a square image format?

Yes.

The listed maximum output has equal horizontal and vertical pixel dimensions.

This can be useful for applications that prefer balanced vertical and horizontal image coverage.

5. Is square-format output always better than 1280×720?

No.

The better format depends on the application.

A square image can be useful for center-oriented, cavity or tube-like observation.

A 16:9 format may be better when the final display or software workflow is designed around wide-screen video.

6. What sensor does this model use?

The catalog lists the OCH2B10 sensor.

7. What is the pixel class?

The catalog lists the module as 2MP.

8. What is the maximum frame rate?

The current catalog snippet confirms 1500×1500 maximum output but does not specify a frame rate for this model.

Customers who have a specific frame-rate requirement should confirm it before sample approval.

9. What output formats are supported?

The catalog lists YUV and MJPEG.

Actual host compatibility should be confirmed with the intended device and software environment.

10. What is the camera head diameter?

The camera head diameter is D4.0.

Customers should remember that D4.0 refers to the camera head, not necessarily the final complete probe diameter after housing and sealing.

11. Is this an integrated module?

No.

The catalog lists it as a separate-type module.

The camera head and main board should therefore be considered together during mechanical design.

12. What is the front length?

The catalog lists a 4.5mm front length.

Customers should confirm the complete mechanical drawing before final housing design.

13. Does this model have built-in LEDs?

No.

The catalog lists LED as No.

The final device therefore needs an appropriate external or device-level illumination solution if the application is dark.

14. Is no built-in LED always a disadvantage?

No.

For OEM customers with their own lighting design, a no-LED camera module can provide more flexibility.

The device may use external lighting, side lighting, separated illumination or another application-specific light source design.

15. Can the module control an external LED?

The catalog does not confirm an external LED control function for this model.

Any device-level lighting control architecture should be confirmed separately during project evaluation.

16. Does this model support dimming?

The catalog marks dimming as No.

Because the module also has no built-in LEDs, customers should treat lighting and brightness control as part of the final device architecture.

17. What is the field of view?

The catalog lists D140°, meaning a 140° diagonal FOV.

18. What is the benefit of a 140° FOV?

A wide FOV can help users see more of the surrounding cavity or internal structure in one frame.

This may reduce repeated probe repositioning during navigation and general observation.

19. Is 140° FOV suitable for fine defect inspection?

Not automatically.

A wide FOV provides more scene coverage, but small targets may appear smaller within the image.

Customers should test whether the target detail remains sufficient for the real inspection task.

20. Is this module suitable for cavity navigation?

It can be evaluated for applications where wide visual context is important.

The final suitability depends on cavity size, working distance, lighting and required image detail.

21. What is the focusing range?

The catalog lists an 8–100mm focusing range.

22. Is it suitable for very close viewing below 8mm?

The listed focusing range starts at 8mm.

If the application requires a shorter working distance, another optical configuration or camera module should be evaluated.

23. Can it be used when the target distance changes during inspection?

It can be evaluated for applications where the working distance varies within the intended range.

Customers should test image clarity at the closest, typical and farthest real use distances.

24. Does this module support IP67?

No.

The catalog marks IP67 as No.

25. Can I use it in a waterproof final product?

The module may be integrated into a customer-designed sealed device, but final waterproof performance depends on the complete product structure and validation.

The module itself should not be presented as an IP67 camera probe.

26. Is it suitable for wet pipe inspection?

Not as a confirmed IP67 module by itself.

For wet pipe applications, customers should either develop and validate a complete sealed structure or evaluate an IP67-supported module.

27. Is this model suitable for industrial inspection?

Yes, it can be evaluated for industrial inspection tasks where the D4.0 size, wide FOV, image output and external lighting architecture match the application.

28. Is it suitable for medical visualization equipment?

It can be evaluated as an imaging component for OEM medical visualization device development where appropriate.

Final compliance, safety, cleaning, biocompatibility-related design and certification remain complete-device responsibilities.

29. Is it suitable for dental devices?

That depends on the required working distance, probe structure, lighting and desired FOV.

A 140° wide FOV and 8–100mm focusing range should be tested against the actual dental device scenario before selection.

30. Is it suitable for veterinary devices?

It can be evaluated for veterinary visualization equipment if the diameter, image detail, working distance and external lighting design match the device.

31. What lens material options are available?

The catalog lists plastic and glass lens options.

Customers should confirm the selected lens configuration according to image performance, cost and application requirements.

32. What is the standard cable length?

The standard cable length is 1.5m.

33. What is the maximum cable length?

The catalog lists a maximum cable length of 3m.

Longer configurations should be evaluated for actual system performance and mechanical routing.

34. Is a 3m cable always better than 1.5m?

No.

Cable length should match the device structure and user workflow.

Unnecessary cable length may make routing and product design more difficult.

35. What is the main board size?

The main board size is 62.5×15mm.

Customers should confirm whether this board can fit inside the handle, control unit or equipment housing.

36. Why does board size matter if the camera head is only 4mm?

Because the camera head is only one part of a separate-type module.

The final device must accommodate the camera head, cable, main board and connectors.

37. What is the front connection type?

The catalog lists bonding wire for the front connection.

The connection area should be considered during mechanical protection and assembly design.

38. What is the back connector?

The catalog lists Micro USB as the back connector.

Customers should confirm host and product architecture compatibility before final integration.

39. Can it connect directly to every computer?

It is a USB camera module, but actual operation depends on the host system, software environment and device integration.

Sample testing with the intended host is recommended.

40. Can it connect directly to a Type-C phone?

The catalog lists Micro USB as the back connector, not Type-C.

Phone integration should not be assumed and would depend on the complete host, adapter, software and system architecture.

41. Is this a finished plug-and-play endoscope?

No.

It is a camera module for OEM integration.

The customer must evaluate lighting, housing, environmental protection, cable routing, host system and complete device design.

42. What should I test first after receiving a sample?

Customers should test:

1500×1500 output compatibility

Image detail in the real scene

140° FOV

Target size within the wide frame

Image clarity at actual working distances

External lighting performance

Reflection and shadow

Cable length

Board placement

Host compatibility

Mechanical protection

Environmental sealing requirements

43. What is the most common mistake when choosing this model?

The most common mistake is selecting it only because it is 2MP and D4.0.

Customers should also confirm:

Whether square-format output is useful

Whether 140° FOV is too wide or suitable

Whether 8–100mm matches real use

How the device will provide lighting

Whether IP67 is required

Whether the 62.5×15mm board fits the device

44. Is this module suitable for AI inspection?

It should not automatically be selected for AI inspection based only on the 2MP specification.

AI suitability depends on target size, image detail, lighting consistency, optical distortion, working distance and algorithm requirements.

Project-level testing is necessary.

45. What kind of customer is this model best suited for?

It is best suited to OEM customers who:

Need a D4.0 camera head

Want 1500×1500 square-format imaging

Need a 140° wide view

Have their own lighting architecture

Can integrate a separate-type module

Need an 8–100mm observation range

Do not require module-level IP67

46. When should I choose another model?

Choose another model if your project needs:

Built-in LEDs

Confirmed IP67

A narrower FOV

Very close focus below 8mm

A smaller camera diameter

An integrated all-in-one structure

A confirmed high-frame-rate requirement

A finished consumer endoscope

47. Can SincereFull evaluate alternative modules for the project?
