Arducam Mega 5MP Rolling Shutter camera is the latest product developed by Arducam Team. The Ultra High Stability and Accuracy and Open Source API allows for it to be integrated into almost any vision project. 
The camera has Low Power Consumption and Super Sharp Images. We also equipped this camera with an autofocus lens. 

Applications

  • Assets Monitoring
  • Space Journey
  • Environmental Observation
  • Dynamics Capture
  • loT Automation

Features

  • Extremely easy to use. High-level commands were built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
  • Programmable Autofocus: Equipped with an Autofocus Lens which can achieve autofocus at different distances. Suitable for IoT activities.
  • Multiplexing Made Easy: Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout.
  • Open Source SDK: The SDK is fully open-source with lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, which allows you to add a new MCU without effort.
  • One Fits All: It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, and countless more.
