Datasheet

This weatherproof camera module comes in a nice metal case with a

mounting hinge, a 1 meter long cable with the TTL & NTSC signals

brought out, and it has an automatic IR LED system for night time

photos. When the on-board photocell detects that it is too dark for the

camera to take a photo, it turns on a ring of 12 IR LEDs that illuminate

the nearby area for night-vision shots.

This camera was designed to be used in security systems and does two

main things - it outputs NTSC video and can take snapshots of that

video and transmit them over the TTL serial link. You can snap pictures

at 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 and they're pre-compressed JPEG

images which makes them nice and small and easy to store on an SD

card. Perfect for a data-logging, security, or photography project.

One nice thing about this particular camera is all the 'extras' that come

with it. For example it has manually adjustable focus, auto-white-

balance, auto-brightness and auto-contrast taken care of for you as

well as motion detection built in! That means you can have it alert your

project when something moved in the frame.

Using the module is pretty easy and only requires two digital pins (or a TTL serial port) - by default it transmits at 38400 baud. Technical Details  Metal Housing size: 2" x 2" x 2.5"  Weight: 150 grams  Image sensor: CMOS 1/4 inch  CMOS Pixels: 30M  Pixel size: 5.6um*5.
