The uCAM (microCAM) is a highly integrated serial camera module which can be
attached to any host system that requires a video camera or a JPEG compressed still
camera for embedded imaging applications.
The module uses an OmniVision CMOS VGA colour sensor along with a JPEG compression
chip that provides a low cost and low powered camera system. The module has an on-board
Serial interface (TTL levels) that is suitable for a direct connection to any host
micro-controller UART.
User commands are sent using a simple serial protocol that can instruct the camera
to send low resolution (160x120 or 80x60) single frame raw images for a quick viewing
or high resolution (640x480 or 320x240) JPEG images for storage or viewing.
The uCAM comes in a compact form factor with a built in lens and a 4-wire connector
that provides easy access to both power and serial data.
