ArduCam Mega 3MP Color Cam with M12 Lens (NoIR)

The Mega series of ArduCam contains the latest products. Thanks to the tremendous stability and accuracy and the open source API functions, project can be realized even more efficiently. Among other things, the application range of the image sensor was expanded for this purpose. The camera has a low power consumption of less than 200mW and a response time of 42ms. A NoIR-M12 lens, with a distortion of <1.53%, was installed in this camera. The focus is manually adjustable and also suitable for night Vision.

Application areas: Object monitoring, space travel, environmental monitoring, dynamic sensing, IoT Automation.

Features

• Easy operation: built-in high-level commands, the camera can be operated by API access through button clicks.
• Energy-saving: fast sleep and fast boot-up, power consumption is less than 200mW
• Multiplexing: up to four cameras using multi camera adapter board to one MCU. Simultaneous acquisition with sequential readout
• Open Source SDK: fully open source with MIT license, a lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer that allows to add a new MCU
• One fits All: fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (native or mimic). 8bit, 16bit or 32bit, ARM, RISC-V or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas and others.
• Visibility in low light conditions: NoIR-M12 lens with 75° HFOV
