Overview
Arducam New Mega 3MP SPI camera is the latest product developed by Arducam Team. The Ultra High Stability&Accuracy and Open Source API and SDK of this camera module can realize your project more effectively. The camera is featured Low Power Consumption and 42ms quick response. We equip the camera module with a 68.75-degree(DFOV) stock lens, ensuring zero focus latency and rock-solid stability in high-vibration IoT environments. What’s more, if off-the-shelf solutions don't meet your needs, Arducam offers end-to-end custom camera design services to help you turn your ideas into real products. From early concept to mass production, we work closely with you to tailor an imaging solution to meet your unique technical requirements and product goals.
Applications
- loT Automation
- Assets Monitoring
- Space Journey
- Environmental Observation
- Dynamics Capture
Features
- Easy Using: Extremely easy to use. High-level commands were built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
- Robust Fixed-Focus Reliability: Solid-state fixed-focus design eliminates moving mechanical parts, ensuring zero focus latency and rock-solid stability in high-vibration IoT environments.
- Open Source SDK: The SDK is fully open-source with MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
- One Fits All: It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, Raspberry Pi Pico and countless more.
- Ultra-Low Power Profile: Consumes only 90mW at idle and 550mW under active workload, perfect for power-constrained IoT environments.
