Capture stunning images and high-quality video with this SPI camera module. This versatile camera module is designed to meet the demands of both hobbyists and professionals, offering a remarkable combination of features that make photography and imaging projects a breeze. This camera module boasts a 5-megapixel sensor that delivers crisp and detailed images, and built-in high-level commands right into the module, making it as user-friendly as a DSLR camera.
It features quick response times, with a wake-up speed as fast as 94ms, and boasts power-saving capabilities, with consumption as low as under 200mw. This ensures that your projects run efficiently and last longer on a single charge. It is designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of microcontrollers that support the standard SPI interface. It's the perfect fit for your existing projects, whether you're using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or any other microcontroller platform.
Upgrade your imaging projects with the 5MP SPI Camera Module and experience the convenience of DSLR-like controls, quick response times, and exceptional image quality.

Please note that the lens is now glued into position at the factory to ensure the focus stays accurate during transit. If you need to remove or swap the lens, the advice from Arducam is to heat it gently with a hairdryer or similar to soften the adhesive first.
Features
- Extremely easy to use. High-level commands were built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
- Multiplexing: Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout.
- Open Source SDK: The SDK is fully open-source with an MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
- One Fits All: It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, and countless more.
