High Resolution TTL Serial JPEG Camera Module Adafruit Industries 397 with Motion Detection Features
Product Overview
This TTL Serial JPEG Camera module is designed for security systems and offers dual functionality: NTSC video output and color snapshot capabilities transmitted via a TTL serial link. It supports image resolutions of 640x480, 320x240, and 160x120, providing pre-compressed JPEG images for efficient storage. Key features include manually adjustable focus, automatic white-balance, auto-brightness, auto-contrast, and built-in motion detection for project alerts. The module requires two digital pins for operation and defaults to a 38400 baud rate. Libraries and example code for Arduino & CircuitPython are available to facilitate integration, enabling control over image size, compression quality, motion detection, and video output.
