Introduction
Customers evaluating the SF-C1019USB-1000P-D3.9-PLUS usually care about practical project questions: Is 1000×1000@60fps useful for our device? Is the image smooth enough during probe movement? Can LED brightness be adjusted? Will IP67 support our environment? Which FOV should we choose? Which focus range is suitable? Can the cable and board fit our product?
This FAQ answers the most common buyer questions before sample testing and OEM project evaluation.
1. What is the SF-C1019USB-1000P-D3.9-PLUS?
The SF-C1019USB-1000P-D3.9-PLUS is a D3.9 USB endoscope camera module using the ES101 sensor. It supports YUV / MJPEG output at 1000×1000@60fps, includes 4pcs 0402 LEDs, supports IP67 and can be evaluated for custom dimming requirements.
2. What is the main value of this model?
Its main value is the combination of D3.9 compact diameter, 1000×1000 square-format imaging, 60fps smooth video, built-in LEDs, IP67 support, flexible FOV / focus options and optional custom dimming.
3. What does 1000P mean for this model?
For this model, 1000P refers to 1000×1000 output.
This square-format image can be useful for cavity, tube, circular or center-focused inspection scenes where balanced vertical and horizontal visibility is helpful.
4. Why choose 1000×1000 instead of 1280×720?
1000×1000 provides a more balanced square view.
For some endoscope applications, especially cavity or pipe-like spaces, customers may prefer a centered image format instead of a wide rectangular view.
5. What is the frame rate?
The module supports 1000×1000@60fps.
The 60fps output can help provide smoother live video when the probe moves during operation.
6. Does 60fps mean the image is clearer?
Not directly.
60fps improves motion smoothness. Image clarity also depends on lighting, lens, focus range, FOV, software, display system and final device structure.
7. What sensor does it use?
This model uses the ES101 sensor.
It is positioned for compact 1000P-class endoscope visualization projects.
8. What is the camera head diameter?
The camera head diameter is D3.9.
This makes the module suitable for compact devices that still need built-in LEDs and IP67-supported structure.
9. Does this module have built-in LEDs?
Yes. It includes 4pcs 0402 LEDs.
These LEDs help provide local illumination in dark cavities and close-range inspection environments.
10. Does this module support dimming?
The catalog notes custom dimming optional.
This means dimming should be treated as a project-based customization or configuration option, not assumed as a default function for every standard sample.
11. Why is dimming important?
Dimming is important when the target surface is wet, shiny, metallic, curved or highly reflective.
Adjustable brightness can help reduce overexposure and improve image usability in different working conditions.
12. When is dimming not necessary?
Dimming may not be necessary when the working distance is stable, the target surface is not reflective and fixed LED brightness already provides a usable image.
If dimming is not required, customers may also evaluate the PRO version.
13. Does this module support IP67?
Yes. The catalog marks IP67 as Yes.
This makes the module suitable for projects that may involve moisture, cleaning, liquid exposure or harsh inspection environments.
14. Does IP67 mean the final device is automatically waterproof?
No.
Final waterproof performance depends on the complete device design, including housing, sealing, cable exit, connector protection, adhesive and assembly process.
15. Can it be used in medical visualization devices?
It can be evaluated as an imaging component for medical visualization device development.
Final medical compliance, cleaning validation, safety testing and certification should be handled according to the complete device and target market.
16. Can it be used in dental or oral inspection devices?
Yes, it can be evaluated if the D3.9 diameter, FOV, focus range, LED brightness and host system match the application.
For reflective oral surfaces, dimming evaluation may be important.
17. Can it be used in veterinary endoscope devices?
Yes, it can be evaluated for veterinary visualization tools.
The final choice depends on target application, working distance, brightness control, waterproof needs and device structure.
18. Is it suitable for industrial inspection?
Yes. It can be evaluated for industrial borescopes, pipe inspection tools, cavity inspection devices, maintenance tools and portable inspection systems.
Industrial customers should focus on IP67 support, lighting control, cable durability, FOV and mechanical protection.
19. What FOV options are available?
The module supports 95°, 100°, 110°, 120° and 140° FOV options.
This allows customers to choose between focused viewing and wider cavity observation.
20. Which FOV should I choose?
Choose 95° or 100° for more focused viewing.
Choose 110° or 120° for balanced observation.
Choose 140° if the user needs a wider view inside a narrow cavity.
The final choice should be confirmed through sample testing at the actual working distance.
21. What focusing range options are available?
The module supports 4–10mm, 5–50mm, 5–100mm and 10–100mm focusing range options.
These options allow customers to match the camera module to different working distances.
22. Which focus range should I choose?
Choose 4–10mm for very close inspection.
Choose 5–50mm for general close-range observation.
Choose 5–100mm or 10–100mm when the target is farther from the camera head.
Customers should measure the actual working distance before selecting samples.
23. What is the front length?
The front length is 12mm.
Customers should confirm whether this front-end length fits the probe or device structure.
24. What lens material options are available?
The catalog lists plastic / glass lens options.
Customers should choose based on optical performance, cost, durability and application requirements.
25. What is the standard cable length?
The standard cable length is 1m.
This should be checked against the customer's device layout and user operation distance.
26. What is the maximum cable length?
The maximum cable length listed in the catalog is 4m.
If customers need longer cable routing, signal stability and image performance should be tested in the final device structure.
27. What is the main board size?
The main board size is 40×13.5mm.
OEM customers should confirm whether this board can fit inside the device housing, handle or control unit.
28. What connector does it use?
The front connector is bonding wire, and the back connector is Micro USB.
Customers should confirm whether this connection method matches their assembly process and host system.
29. Is this a finished endoscope device?
No. It is an endoscope camera module for OEM integration.
Customers still need to evaluate housing, cable routing, mechanical protection, host compatibility and final device assembly.
30. Can it work directly with a computer?
It is a USB camera module, but actual compatibility depends on the host system, software, driver support and connection design.
Customers should test it with their intended host device before final confirmation.
31. What is the difference between the PLUS version and the PRO version?
The PLUS version is better positioned for projects where custom dimming may be required.
The PRO version is the non-dimmable version. If the application does not need brightness adjustment, the PRO version may be considered.
32. Is this module suitable for AI inspection?
It is generally not the first choice for AI or measurement-level inspection.
For AI recognition, customers usually need controlled lighting, stable image conditions and sometimes higher resolution depending on the task.
33. What should customers test first after receiving samples?
Customers should test:
Image smoothness during movement
LED brightness at actual working distance
Dimming behavior if customized
Reflection on wet, shiny or metallic surfaces
Selected FOV in the real cavity
Focus clarity
IP67 performance after assembly
Cable length and signal stability
Board placement
Host compatibility
Mechanical fit of the D3.9 front end
34. What is the most common mistake when choosing this model?
The most common mistake is choosing it only because it supports 1000P and IP67.
Customers should also confirm whether dimming is required, whether the FOV matches the scene, whether the focus range matches the working distance, and whether the cable and board fit the final product.
35. Can SincereFull customize this module?
Project-level customization or alternative module evaluation can be discussed based on diameter, lens, FOV, focus range, LED brightness control, cable, connector and mechanical structure requirements.
Any change affecting optical performance, waterproof design, signal stability or production feasibility should be reviewed before confirmation.
