OV2640 2MP Camera Sensor Module with 66-Degree Lens for ESP32-CAM

OV2640 2MP Camera Sensor Module with 66-Degree Lens for ESP32-CAM is a high-definition 2-megapixel CMOS imaging sensor engineered for low-power embedded vision applications. Delivering UXGA (1600 × 1200) image resolutions and onboard hardware JPEG compression, this camera module interfaces directly with popular vision development boards such as the ESP32-CAM, AI-Thinker modules, and STM32 digital camera interfaces via standard 24-pin DVP flexible flat cable (FFC) connectors.

Key Features:

• High-Resolution 2MP Imaging: Omnivision OV2640 CMOS image sensor provides clear color imaging up to 1600 × 1200 resolution.
• Hardware JPEG Compression: Integrated image signal processor (ISP) delivers real-time JPEG encoding, significantly reducing memory overhead.
• Standard 24-Pin FPC Connector: Direct drop-in ribbon cable replacement for ESP32-CAM and ESP32-WROVER-DEV boards.
• Automatic Image Control: On-chip automated exposure control (AEC), automatic gain control (AGC), and automatic white balance (AWB).
• High Sensitivity: Optimized for low-light embedded vision and ambient optical surveillance.
• Multiple Output Formats: Supports JPEG, RGB565, RGB555, YUV422, and YCbCr raw video stream formats.
