Arducam Mini Module Camera Shield 5 MP OV5642 Camera Module for Arduino is a performance improved version compared to its predecessor Arducam-M-5MP.
It 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.
Capture decent 5MP JPEG images and do 5MP full resolution RAW 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.
