The camera features a 3.04mm focal length lens with a 62.2° diagonal field of view and an integral IR-cut filter, ensuring accurate color reproduction under visible light. Its MIPI CSI-2 interface facilitates seamless integration, making it ideal for applications like UAVs, drones, robotics, and intelligent video analytics.
This is a simple Camera Module board based on the OV5640 5MP sensor. This camera has all the support circuitry needed to interface with it and a full set of features and functions. Best of all, it's able to interface with some of the newest 32bit microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi RP line of Microcontrollers and Espressif's ESP32 wireless modules.
