The OV5678 Camera Sensor is a camera module sensor developed by OmniVision Technologies. It is commonly used in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, security cameras, and other devices that require camera modules. The OV5678 sensor is capable of capturing images and video, typically with a resolution of up to 5 megapixels.
When you are using a device with an OV5678 camera sensor on a Windows computer (or any Windows-based system), you need the appropriate Windows driver for the camera to function correctly. This driver enables the system to communicate with the camera hardware and allows applications (like video conferencing software, camera apps, or even device management tools) to interface with the sensor for capturing images and video.
