Module Specification
Camera
HD camera module for image capture and vision projects
Description
OV5640 camera with its own on-module co-processor. It captures and JPEG-encodes on board, then hands the compressed frames to the motherboard over SPI, so no image processing happens on the ESP32. Ideal for vision, monitoring, and time-lapse projects.
