Arducam 5MP Plus OV5642 Mini Camera Module
82 units available with a short lead time.
The Arducam 5MP Plus OV5642 Mini is an SPI-enabled camera module designed for low-cost microcontrollers like Arduino and RP2040. With 5MP resolution and a generous 8MB frame buffer, it supports JPEG compression, multiple capture modes, and RAW/YUV/RGB output formats — all controllable via SPI for simplified integration.
A step up from the Arducam-M-5MP, this module features an M12 mount lens holder with interchangeable lenses. Multiple modules can be controlled from the same microcontroller, and code libraries are available for Arduino, STM32, Chipkit, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone Black.
