About this item

The Arducam 2 MP Mini Module Camera Shield with the OV2640 sensor is a compact and powerful imaging solution designed specifically for microcontroller platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and STM32. It features a 2-megapixel OV2640 CMOS sensor that supports a maximum resolution of 1600 × 1200 (UXGA) and is capable of onboard JPEG compression, reducing the processing load on the host controller. Its compact size makes it ideal for embedded systems, robotics, smart home devices, and IoT projects. This module uses I²C for camera configuration and SPI to transfer image data, making it highly efficient for systems with limited I/O and memory resources. The fixed-focus lens has a diagonal field of view of approximately 52°, and an integrated IR-cut filter ensures accurate color reproduction in daylight. The onboard image signal processor (ISP) supports various output formats such as YUV, RGB, and Raw, and allows for multiple frame rate settings—15 fps at full resolution, and up to 60 fps at lower resolutions. Its low power consumption, small footprint, and wide compatibility make it a go-to choice for developers working on lightweight imaging applications with limited resources.
