Overview

Arducam New Mega 5MP 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 Super Sharp Image. Different from the Standard Mega 5MP Autofocus Camera, we equip the camera with a Low Distortion 90-degree(DFOV) Wide Angle M12 Lens (TV Distortion<1.53%) for more realistic image output and more flexible lens options. 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

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.
  • Low Distortion M12 Lens: Equipped with an Low Distortion M12 Lens with 90-degree DFOV by default.
  • 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.
  • Multiplexing Support: Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout then.
