{"title":"Weatherproof TTL Serial JPEG Camera with NTSC Video and IR LEDs","handle":"weatherproof-ttl-serial-jpeg-camera-with-ntsc-video-and-ir-leds","url":"/products/weatherproof-ttl-serial-jpeg-camera-with-ntsc-video-and-ir-leds","description":"Built for projects that need an outdoor-ready camera, this module combines a metal weatherproof enclosure, mounting hinge and a 1 meter long cable with the TTL serial and NTSC video signals brought out.It outputs NTSC video and can also capture snapshots from that video stream, sending pre-compressed JPEG images over TTL serial. Image capture is available at 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120, making it suitable for SD card logging, security monitoring and photography experiments.For low-light use, an onboard photo-cell automatically turns on a ring of 12 IR LEDs when it is too dark for normal photos. The camera also handles focus and image adjustments such as auto-white-balance, auto-brightness and auto-contrast, with built-in motion detection for triggering your project when movement appears in frame.It can be used with two digital pins or a TTL serial port, transmitting at 38400 baud by default. Adafruit provides Arduino and CircuitPython libraries, plus example code for changing image size and compression quality, detecting motion and controlling the video output stream.Features:Weatherproof enclosure: Metal case suitable for outdoor-style installations.Mounting hinge: Built-in hinge for positioning the camera.Signal cable: 1 meter long cable with TTL and NTSC signals brought out.Automatic night vision: Photo-cell turns on IR illumination when the scene is too dark.IR illumination: Ring of 12 IR LEDs for nearby night-vision shots.NTSC video output: Outputs an NTSC video stream.JPEG snapshot capture: Takes snapshots from the video and transmits pre-compressed JPEG images over TTL serial.Manual focus: Manually adjustable focus.Auto-white-balance: White balance is handled by the camera.Auto-brightness: Brightness adjustment is handled by the camera.Auto-contrast: Contrast adjustment is handled by the camera.Motion detection: Built-in motion detection can alert your project when something moves in frame.Arduino support: Library and example code are available for Arduino.CircuitPython support: Library and example code are available for CircuitPython.Example controls: Example code shows how to change image size and compression quality.Video stream control: Example code shows how to control the video output stream.Specifications:Cable length: 1 meter long cableIR LEDs: 12 IR LEDsSnapshot resolution: 640x480Snapshot resolution: 320x240Snapshot resolution: 160x120Image format: Pre-compressed JPEG imagesInterface: TTL serial linkVideo output: NTSC videoPins required: Two digital pins, or a TTL serial portDefault baud rate: 38400 baudA handy camera module for maker security systems, remote logging rigs and projects that need simple serial JPEG capture with live analogue video output.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Camera Module","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":12937,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-613","price":127.74,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
