Miniature TTL Serial JPEG Camera with NTSC Video

This super - small camera module is a great addition to any project. Similar to our other JPEG cameras but much more compact, it's designed for security systems. It offers two key functions: outputting NTSC color video and taking color snapshots that can be sent via the TTL serial link. You can capture pictures in 640x480, 320x240, or 160x120 resolutions as pre - compressed JPEGs, which are easy to store on an SD card. Ideal for data - logging, security, or photography projects. This camera comes with excellent extras like auto - white - balance, auto - brightness, auto - contrast, and built - in motion detection. It can alert your project when there's movement in the frame. The lens is manually adjustable with a 1 - 15 meter focal distance, suitable for most projects. We also have a larger, weather - proof version. Using the module is a breeze, requiring just two digital pins or a TTL serial port, transmitting at 38400 baud by default. We've developed great libraries for Arduino and CircuitPython with example code to help you change image size, compression quality, detect motion, and control the video stream. Our detailed tutorial will help you get the most out of your camera.

Using this camera is easy. First, connect it using two digital pins or a TTL serial port. It'll start transmitting at 38400 baud by default. You can use the provided libraries for Arduino or CircuitPython and follow the example code to change settings like image size and compression quality. For motion detection, just let the built - in feature do its job and it'll alert your project when something moves. When adjusting the lens, remember it has a 1 - 15 meter focal distance. Be gentle when making manual adjustments. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. If you're using it outdoors, consider our weather - proof version. Check the connections regularly to make sure they're secure.
