Description
Overview
ArduCAM-2MP-Plus is an optimized version of ArduCAM shield Rev.C, and is a high definition 2MP SPI camera, which reduces the complexity of the camera control interface. It integrates 2MP CMOS image sensor OV2640, and provides miniature size, as well as an easy to use hardware interface and open source code library.
The ArduCAM mini can be used in any platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Maple, Chipkit, Beaglebone black, as long as they have SPI and I2C interface and can be well mated with standard Arduino boards. ArduCAM mini not only offers the capability to add a camera interface which doesn’t have in some low cost microcontrollers, but also provides the capability to add multiple cameras to a single microcontroller.
Application:
- IoT cameras
- Robot cameras
- Wildlife cameras
- Other battery-powered products
- Can be used in MCU, Raspberry Pi, ARM, DSP, FPGA platforms
Features:
- 2MP image sensor OV2640
- M12 mount or CS-mount lens holder with changeable lens options
- IR sensitivity with proper lens combination
- I2C interface for sensor configuration
- SPI interface for camera commands and data streams
- All IO ports are 5V/3.3V tolerant
- Support JPEG compression mode, single and multiple shot mode, one-time capture multiple read operation, burst read operation, low power mode, etc.
- Well mated with standard Arduino boards
- Provide open source code library for Arduino, STM32, Chipkit, Raspberry Pi,
BeagleBone Black - Small form of factor
- Lens Specification: sensor size: 1/4″; EFL:4.9mm; F/N:2.2; BFL:1.2mm; HFOV: 60 degree (SKU: U6067)
Note: If you would like to change the lens, please choose the lens from the M12 lens kit here:
