Applications:

• Assets Monitoring
• Space Journey
• Environmental Observation
• Dynamics Capture
• loT Automation

• ​​​​​​Super Easy to Use: High-level commands were built in so you can manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
• Power Saving: Quick sleep and quick wake-up. No worry about loading long register settings. The power consumption is as low as under 200mW.
• Multiplexing: Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout then.
• Open Source SDK: The SDK is fully open-source with an MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
• Wide Compatibility: It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, and countless more.
• Tiny Size: Ultra tiny size which will save more space
• ABS Case: Solid ABS material with high robustness
• Sharp Image & Autofocus Len: 5MP Resolution can capture clearer and sharper images with programmable autofocus function for different distance photography.
