ArduCam Mega 3MP Color Rolling Shutter Cam

The Mega series of ArduCam contains the latest products. Thanks to the tremendous stability and accuracy and the Open-Source-API functions and Open-Source-SDK, project can be realized even more efficiently. The camera has a low power consumption and a fast response time of 42ms. In addition, the simultaneous use of multiple cameras is supported, for this purpose a multi camera adapter board is used, so up to four cameras can be connected to one MCU.

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 startup, 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.
