This FAQ answers the practical questions OEM buyers often ask before requesting samples.
1. What is the SF-G2013EJ23?
The SF-G2013EJ23 is a 3.5mm DVP endoscope camera module using the BF2013 0.3MP sensor. It supports 640×480@30fps output, includes 6pcs 0402 LEDs and is designed to connect to a WiFi board for use.
2. What is the main value of this model?
Its main value is compact size, basic close-range visualization, built-in LED illumination and WiFi-board-based integration.
It is suitable for customers developing simple portable inspection devices rather than high-resolution endoscope imaging systems.
3. What type of output does this module use?
This model uses DVP output.
Customers should not treat it as a standard USB plug-and-play camera module. It needs to be evaluated with a compatible board system.
4. Can this module connect to a WiFi board?
Yes. The catalog notes that it is connected to a WiFi board for use and can work with SF-SJWIFI9560-720.
Customers should still confirm board compatibility, firmware, power design, image transmission and display system before final integration.
5. Is this a USB camera module?
No. This model is listed as a DVP output module.
If the customer needs direct USB output, another USB endoscope camera module should be selected.
6. What sensor does it use?
It uses the BF2013 sensor.
This is a 0.3MP-class sensor suitable for basic visual observation and compact inspection devices.
7. What is the output resolution?
The catalog lists PAL / 640×480@30fps output.
This is suitable for simple close-range visual checking, but not for high-detail image capture or HD documentation.
8. Is 0.3MP enough for my application?
It depends on the task.
0.3MP may be enough if the user only needs to check blockage, position, structure, surface condition or general visibility. It is not enough for detailed defect detection, AI recognition, measurement or high-resolution image recording.
9. What is the camera head diameter?
The camera head diameter is D3.5.
This makes the module suitable for compact inspection devices where the front-end structure needs to be small.
10. Does it include LEDs?
Yes. The module includes 6pcs 0402 LEDs.
This helps provide local illumination in dark or enclosed spaces.
11. Can the LED brightness be adjusted?
No. The catalog marks dimming as No.
If the project needs adjustable LED brightness, customers should discuss another model or a custom lighting solution.
12. Why does LED dimming matter?
In some applications, fixed LED brightness may cause reflection, overexposure or uneven lighting, especially on wet, shiny or curved surfaces.
If the target surface is reflective, customers should mention this during RFQ.
13. What is the field of view?
The module has an 88° FOV.
This is a practical viewing angle for focused close-range inspection. It is not an ultra-wide-angle endoscope camera module.
14. Is 88° FOV enough?
It depends on the application.
88° can be suitable when the user needs a more focused view. If the user needs to see a wider surrounding area, a wider-FOV module may be more suitable.
15. What is the focusing range?
The focusing range is 20–60mm.
Customers should check whether their real working distance falls within this range before selecting the model.
16. Is it suitable for very close inspection below 20mm?
It may not be the best fit if the target is usually closer than 20mm.
Customers should provide their actual working distance so SincereFull can evaluate whether this model or another module is more suitable.
17. Is it suitable for viewing beyond 60mm?
This module is specified for 20–60mm focusing range.
If the application requires longer viewing distance, another lens configuration or module should be evaluated.
18. Does this module support IP67?
No. The catalog marks IP67 as No.
Customers should not treat this model as a waterproof probe.
19. Can it be used inside a waterproof final device?
It may be used as an internal imaging core if the customer designs a sealed final device structure.
However, final waterproof performance depends on the complete product design, including housing, sealing, cable exit, connector protection and assembly process.
20. Is this model suitable for industrial inspection?
Yes, it can be evaluated for basic industrial inspection, compact borescope devices and short-range cavity observation.
Industrial customers should confirm lighting, mechanical protection, waterproof needs and WiFi board compatibility.
21. Is this model suitable for medical device projects?
It can only be evaluated as an imaging component for basic visualization concepts.
Final medical compliance, safety testing, cleaning method and certification should be evaluated according to the complete device and target market.
22. Is it suitable for dental or oral inspection?
It may be evaluated for simple compact visualization if the D3.5 diameter, 20–60mm focusing range and 0.3MP output match the application.
If higher image detail is needed, a 1MP or higher-resolution module may be more suitable.
23. Is it suitable for veterinary endoscope devices?
It can be evaluated for simple veterinary visualization tools, but the final choice depends on required image quality, lighting, working distance, waterproof needs and device structure.
24. Is this module suitable for AI inspection?
No, it is generally not the first choice for AI inspection.
AI recognition and defect detection usually require higher resolution, controlled lighting and stable image quality.
25. What is the lens material?
The catalog lists a plastic lens.
Customers should evaluate whether this lens structure meets their cost, optical and application requirements.
26. What is the cable length?
The catalog does not clearly list a standard cable length or maximum cable length for this model.
Customers should confirm cable and board layout during project communication.
27. What is the main board size?
The catalog does not clearly list a main board size for this model.
Customers should confirm the board structure and WiFi board connection details before mechanical design.
28. Can this module work directly with a mobile phone?
Not directly by itself.
Because it is a DVP module designed to connect to a WiFi board, phone or app viewing depends on the complete WiFi board system, software and product design.
29. Can it be used for wireless inspection devices?
Yes, it can be evaluated for wireless inspection devices when paired with a suitable WiFi board system.
The image path should be tested with the intended board, app, power supply and final product structure.
30. What should customers test first after receiving samples?
Customers should test:
WiFi board compatibility
Image transmission stability
Image clarity at 20–60mm
LED brightness in the real cavity
88° FOV in the final use scene
Power and heat performance
Mechanical protection
Housing and waterproof design if required
Display or app compatibility
31. What is the most common mistake when choosing this model?
The most common mistake is choosing it only because it is D3.5 and has LEDs.
