Arducam CSI Camera Module 5MP OV5640
Features
The OV5640 is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for a wide range of imaging applications. It offers a combination of high resolution,advanced imaging features, and versatility, making it a popular choice for mobile and embedded camera systems.
Arducam has designed the OV5640 camera module and integrated it into the Toradex carrier boards via the MIPI protocol. The camera circuit board, after being improved by the Arducam technical team, has reached a mini size of 24x25mm, which makes it easier for visual projects to be applied in narrow spaces with limited size.
