Introduction
This hardware guid helps for interfacing the Arducam MT9V034/MT9V022 camera module. There are hardware USB2 or USB3(you also need Arducam Parallel Camera Adapter Board for USB3)camera shield develop boards which can well mate this camera module without designing any customize board, they can be used for fast evaluation for this camera module.

Mechanical Dimension

Lens Option
There are M12 or CS/C mount lenses can be used together with is camera module. This is 1/2″ optical format sensor, so make sure the lens optical format is bigger than 1/2″ or else there will be dark corner. More lens options can be found from lens product page.
