Note on frame rate: The frame rate is based on the baud rate. For the UART the max baudrate is 921,600 baud or 115200 Bytes/Sec base on an image size of 48K the best you can expect is 2FPS. If a faster frame rate is needed see the SPI version of this camera.

PLEASE NOTE: NO LENS INCLUDED.

This item is our replacement product for the C328 camera module which is phasing out. Please note the command-set of the C329 and C328 is not identical.

The C329 UART JPEG compression module performs as a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera. Users can send out a snapshot command from the host in order to capture a full resolution single-frame still picture (OV7725 sensor). The picture is then compressed by the JPEG engine (OV529) and transferred to the host.

Features:

Small size 20 x 28mm
Adjustable resolution, Max VGA
3.3V operation
Low Power consumption 20 mA passive
UART interface up to 921.6Kbs
Power Saving Mode
Multiple lens options
Multiple interface options

C329BW-UART-board Monochrome JPEG Compression VGA Camera Module (no lens)

PLEASE NOTE: NO LENS INCLUDED.

This is the monochrome (B & W) version of the C329-UART board using a OV07221 sensor instead of a OV7725.

This item is our replacement product for the C328V camera module which is phasing out. Please note the command-set of the C329BW and C328V is not identical.

The C329 UART JPEG compression module performs as a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera. Users can send out a snapshot command from the host in order to capture a full resolution single-frame still picture (OV07221 sensor). The picture is then compressed by the JPEG engine (OV529) and transferred to the host. This OV07221 sensor should be more sensitive to light, which might work well especially for night time vision with an IR array.

C628 Enhanced JPEG Camera Module

The C628 Enhanced JPEG Module is a small, lightweight and low power consumption devices including most of the features of a Digital Still Camera (DSC) such as snapshot, video capture, date-time stamp, file management and others. By using external micro-controller, together with a well-developed, user-friendly command, people can build a custom made camera for specific application.

Features
UART interface for camera control
Different baud rate setting to meet most of MCU and PC software
Support Mega pixel sensor
Optional SD connector
Real time composite video data output
USB mass storage

IMORTANT: These cameras are individually only sold for production purposes. Our policy is to sell the EV-Kit to experimenters / tinkerers, because it is much easier working with the camera as part of the EV-Kit. The EV-Kit does include a camera. Also only the EV-Kit includes a software driver. NO SOFTWARE IS SUPPLIED IF YOU ONLY BUY THE CAMERA MODULE. Please note this is the camera module only. See the related products for the evaluation kit.

C429-L28 JPEG Compression VGA Camera Module WITH IR-CUT filter mounted on sensor & 2.8mm lens

NEW - LOWER PRICE!

Price was: $49.95

The C429 JPEG compression module performs as a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera. Users can send a snapshot command from the host in order to capture a full resolution, single-frame still picture (MT9v011+VC706 sensor). The picture is then compressed by the JPEG engine (VC0706) and transferred to the host. A schematic to build your own EV kit and software for the camera is also included. (This is another replacement for the C328 cameras even though the command-set is not identical to that used in them.) INCLUDES built-in IR-CUT FILTER mounted on sensor, 2.8mm LENS, & 6 pin cable w/connector.

Features:

Small size 32 x 32mm
Adjustable resolution, Max VGA
5V operation
Low Power consumption 80mA
UART interface up to 921.6Kbps
Built-in IR-CUT filter - for day & night (The filters have a lightpass at about 850nm and are designed to work with IR LEDs emitting at 850nm.)
