Arducam 5MP Plus OV5642 Mini Module Camera Shield SPI Camera Module for Arduino UNO Mega2560 Board & Raspberry Pi Pico

Description

Overview

Arducam-Mini-5MP-Plus(OV5642) is performance improved version compared to its predecessor Arducam-M-5MP.
It not only offers the capability to add a camera interface that doesn’t have in some low-cost microcontrollers but also provides the capability to add multiple cameras to a single microcontroller.
Capture decent 5MP JPEG images and do 5MP full resolution image capture, making it to be the ideal solution for IoT and scientific image processing applications.
Even more, it can record short movie clips as well.

• Arducam Mini Module Camera Shield 5MP Plus OV5642 Camera Module is a general purpose high definition 5MP SPI camera, which reduces the complexity of the camera control interface
• It integrates 5MP CMOS image sensor OV5642 and provides miniature size, as well as the easy-to-use hardware interface and open source code library
• The Arducam mini can be used in any platform like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, Maple, Chipkit, or Beaglebone black, as long as they have SPI and I2C interface and can be well mated with standard Arduino boards
• Support JPEG compression mode, single and multiple shoot mode, short movie recording, one-time capture multiple read operation, burst read operation, low power mode and etc.
• It can be used in IoT, Robot, Wildlife, HDR, and Other battery-powered products or scientific image processing applications
