MINIATURE TTL SERIAL JPEG CAMERA WITH NTSC VIDEO

DESCRIPTION

• This tiny little camera module can be a pretty neat project addition, it is just like our other JPEG cameras (same chipset/software), but much smaller and slimmer.
• It was designed to be used in security systems and does two main things – it outputs NTSC color video and can take snapshots of that video (in color) and transmit them over the TTL serial link.
• You can snap pictures at 640×480, 320×240 or 160×120 and they’re pre-compressed JPEG images which makes them nice and small and easy to store on an SD card. Perfect for a data-logging, security, or photography project.
• One nice thing about this particular camera is all the ‘extras’ that come with it.
• For example it has auto-white-balance, auto-brightness and auto-contrast taken care of for you as well as motion detection built in! That means you can have it alert your project when something moved in the frame.
• The lens is manually adjustable, it has a 1-15 meter focal distance by default which is good for most projects.

Note: We have these working great with classic Arduino UNOs (and other Atmega328-based ‘duinos) but they are not yet MEGA compatible
