Product Overview & Technical Architecture

The HAOKAI HK1M-H156-V3 is a high-performance dual-lens biometric camera module tailored for automated access control, smart kiosks, and industrial machine vision. Built around a 1/4″ CMOS sensor with a 3.0µm × 3.0µm pixel architecture, this camera delivers exceptional sensitivity (0.1Lux @ F1.2) and dynamic stability under changing ambient lighting conditions.

Featuring dual synchronized optical sensors paired with 850nm narrowband infrared (IR) LEDs, the HK1M-H156-V3 captures visible and near-infrared light simultaneously. This dual-spectrum capability is crucial for high-security biometric liveness detection (anti-spoofing), enabling smart algorithms to distinguish between real human faces and high-resolution photo or video attacks.

Equipped with a precision 6-layer (5P+IR) coated glass lens delivering a 30° diagonal field of view (FOV), the module ensures minimal optical distortion while maintaining high center-to-edge sharpness. Its integrated UVC (USB Video Class) protocol allows instant deployment without additional driver installation, making it an ideal OEM vision component for developers using Android, Linux, or Windows-based systems.
