About this item

The Arducam 5 Megapixel Camera Module featuring the OV5642 sensor is a versatile imaging device suitable for a wide range of applications, including embedded systems, IoT devices, and robotics. This camera module captures high-quality images at a resolution of up to 2592 × 1944 pixels and supports 1080p video recording with JPEG compression, which reduces the data size and eases transmission over limited bandwidth interfaces. The OV5642 sensor is well-known for its balance of resolution, color accuracy, and low-light performance, making this module ideal for projects that require clear, vibrant images and smooth video. The built-in JPEG encoder allows the camera to output compressed images directly, enabling faster data transfer and reducing processor load on the host system. Compatible with various microcontrollers and processors, the camera module interfaces through a standard parallel DVP (Digital Video Port) interface, simplifying integration into existing platforms. It supports auto exposure, auto white balance, and other image adjustments to enhance picture quality under diverse lighting conditions. This compact and lightweight camera is perfect for hobbyists, educators, and professionals who want to implement real-time imaging solutions without complex hardware requirements.
