1.5MP Camera Module for ESP32 (OV5640, 1/4' CCD, 1.15mm length) — Compact wideangle camera module that delivers clear 5megapixel images for DIY IoT and embedded device projects. Why this module matters Small form factor and direct ESP32 compatibility let you add reliable visual sensing to spaceconstrained devices without custom optics or heavy hardware. Builtin image processing stabilizes output and reduces postprocessing on the host, saving MCU cycles and simplifying firmware. Wide angular coverage and selectable output formats make it versatile for surveillance, robotics, and remote monitoring tasks. Key features and benefits Sensor and optics: OV5640 sensor on a 1/4inch CCD mount with a compact 1.15 mm length, providing resolution imaging in a compact package. (Listed as 1.5MP module while using OV5640 to output clear 5 megapixel images.) Wideangle coverage: Diagonal field of view options from 65° up to 130°, enabling broad scene capture in tight enclosures or when monitoring motion across a wide area. Advanced image processing: Automatic image control including color saturation adjustment, gamma correction, sharpness enhancement, lens defect compensation, and noise reduction for consistent, stable images in variable lighting. Flexible outputs and power: Supports video streaming and snapshot capture modes; selectable LED or strobe illumination modes; outputs 8bit or 10bit RGB RAW data. Accepts DC input at 1.8V or 2.8V. Integrationready: Designed for DIY IoT and device projects with ESP32 compatibility and a compact footprint for easy mounting in custom housings. Practical applications Compact security and entry monitoring: Install in small enclosures, doorbells, or accesscontrol points to capture wideangle views without bulky lenses. Robotics and automation: Use for obstacle detection, navigation, or visual feedback on drones, mobile robots, or conveyor systems where space and weight are limited. Remote IoT monitoring: Integrate with ESP32based telemetry systems for environmental observation, equipment status checks, or timelapse capture with minimal processing overhead. What you get A spaceefficient camera module that combines a quality OV5640 sensor, multimode output, and onboard image enhancements to reduce development time and improve infield reliability. Compatibility and notes Designed for ESP32based projects and other embedded systems that accept 1.8V/2.8V input and can process 8bit or 10bit RGB RAW outputs. Ensure your host firmware and connectors match the module's voltage and data format requirements before integration.
