About this item

The Arducam Mega 5MP SPI Camera Module is a versatile, high-resolution imaging solution designed specifically for microcontrollers with limited resources. It features a 5MP CMOS image sensor and communicates through a SPI interface, enabling integration with virtually any microcontroller, including Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi Pico—without the need for large memory buffers or complex camera interfaces. What sets the Mega series apart is its built-in frame buffer and optimized firmware, which allow for real-time image capture and processing even on low-power MCUs. The module supports still image capture in various formats including JPEG, making it ideal for IoT, remote monitoring, embedded vision, and edge AI applications. The included M12 mount lens provides flexibility in focal length and field of view, enabling developers to swap lenses based on the needs of their projects—from wide-angle to zoom. Compact, efficient, and easy to use, the Arducam Mega 5MP makes it possible to bring high-quality vision capabilities to even the most constrained embedded systems. Whether you're developing a smart sensor, machine vision solution, or DIY electronics project, this camera module delivers big performance in a small package.
