It was designed to be used in security systems and does two main things - it outputs NTSC color video and can take snapshots of that video (in color) and transmit them over the TTL serial link. You can snap pictures at 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 and they&#39;re pre-compressed JPEG images which makes them nice and small and easy to store on an SD card. Perfect for a data-logging, security, or photography project.<br /><br />One nice thing about this particular camera is all the &#39;extras&#39; that come with it. For example it has auto-white-balance, auto-brightness and auto-contrast taken care of for you as well as motion detection built in! That means you can have it alert your project when something moved in the frame. The lens is manually adjustable, it has a 1-15 meter focal distance by default which is good for most projects.<br />Using the module is pretty easy and only requires two digital pins (or a TTL serial port) - by default it transmits at 38400 baud. Of course we wouldn&#39;t just leave you with a datasheet and a &#39;good luck&#39;, we even spent a lot of time researching the module and DSP to make really nice libraries for both Arduino &amp; CircuitPython, with example code that shows how to change the image size and compression quality, detect motion, control the video output stream, etc. </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Module size: 20mm x 28mm</li> <li>Module Weight: 3g</li> <li>Image sensor: CMOS 1/4 inch</li> <li>CMOS Pixels: 30M</li> <li>Pixel size: 5.6um*5.6um</li> <li>Manual focus adjustable from 5 to 15meters</li> <li>Output format: Standard JPEG</li> <li>White balance: Automatic</li> <li>Exposure: Automatic</li> <li>Gain: Automatic</li> <li>Shutter: Electronic rolling shutter</li> <li>SNR: 45DB</li> <li>Dynamic Range: 60DB</li> <li>Max analog gain: 16DB</li> <li>Frame speed: 640*480 30fps</li> <li>Scan mode: Progressive scan</li> <li>Viewing angle: 60 degrees</li> <li>Image size: VGA(640*480), QVGA(320*240), QQVGA(160*120)</li> <li>Baud rate: Default 38400</li> <li>Current draw: 75mA</li> <li>Operating voltage: DC +3-5V (the power pin is marked 3.3V but it goes into a 3-5V input regulator so you can power it with 3-5VDC)</li> <li>Communication: 3.3V TTL (Three wire TX, RX, GND)</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Miniature TTL Serial JPEG Camera</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/1386/1386+v2+datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">PTC06 Serial Camera Specification (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Quick Start Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/ttl-serial-camera.pdf" target="_blank">TTL Serial Camera (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Applications Library</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> Adafruit-VC0706-Serial-Camera-Library (zip) </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> NewSoftSerial library download (zip) </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Software</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-download"></i> VC0706 Comm Tool -

It was designed to be used in security systems and does two main things - it outputs NTSC color video and can take snapshots of that video (in color) and transmit them over the TTL serial link. You can snap pictures at 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 and they&#39;re pre-compressed JPEG images which makes them nice and small and easy to store on an SD card. Perfect for a data-logging, security, or photography project.<br /><br />One nice thing about this particular camera is all the &#39;extras&#39; that come with it. For example it has auto-white-balance, auto-brightness and auto-contrast taken care of for you as well as motion detection built in! That means you can have it alert your project when something moved in the frame. The lens is manually adjustable, it has a 1-15 meter focal distance by default which is good for most projects.<br />Using the module is pretty easy and only requires two digital pins (or a TTL serial port) - by default it transmits at 38400 baud. Of course we wouldn&#39;t just leave you with a datasheet and a &#39;good luck&#39;, we even spent a lot of time researching the module and DSP to make really nice libraries for both Arduino &amp; CircuitPython, with example code that shows how to change the image size and compression quality, detect motion, control the video output stream, etc. </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Features</h3> <ul> <li>Module size: 20mm x 28mm</li> <li>Module Weight: 3g</li> <li>Image sensor: CMOS 1/4 inch</li> <li>CMOS Pixels: 30M</li> <li>Pixel size: 5.6um*5.6um</li> <li>Manual focus adjustable from 5 to 15meters</li> <li>Output format: Standard JPEG</li> <li>White balance: Automatic</li> <li>Exposure: Automatic</li> <li>Gain: Automatic</li> <li>Shutter: Electronic rolling shutter</li> <li>SNR: 45DB</li> <li>Dynamic Range: 60DB</li> <li>Max analog gain: 16DB</li> <li>Frame speed: 640*480 30fps</li> <li>Scan mode: Progressive scan</li> <li>Viewing angle: 60 degrees</li> <li>Image size: VGA(640*480), QVGA(320*240), QQVGA(160*120)</li> <li>Baud rate: Default 38400</li> <li>Current draw: 75mA</li> <li>Operating voltage: DC +3-5V (the power pin is marked 3.3V but it goes into a 3-5V input regulator so you can power it with 3-5VDC)</li> <li>Communication: 3.3V TTL (Three wire TX, RX, GND)</li> </ul> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Ships With</h3> <ul> <li>Miniature TTL Serial JPEG Camera</li> </ul> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Required Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-required-devtools-content"></div> </div> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-section" class="xs-hide"> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-mb1 xs-border-bottom">Accessory Tools</h3> <div id="devtool-accessory-devtools-content"></div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Documents</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Data Sheet</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/1386/1386+v2+datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">PTC06 Serial Camera Specification (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Quick Start Guide</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-pdf"></i> <a href="https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/ttl-serial-camera.pdf" target="_blank">TTL Serial Camera (pdf)</a> </div> </div> <h3 class="toc-item xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Downloads</h3> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Applications Library</h4> <div class="attachment "> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> Adafruit-VC0706-Serial-Camera-Library (zip) </div> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-archive"></i> NewSoftSerial library download (zip) </div> </div> <div class="xs-px2"> <h4 class="xs-pb2 xs-border-bottom">Software</h4> <div class="attachment xs-mb3"> <i class="fal fa-file-download"></i> VC0706 Comm Tool - Windows control software (exe) </div> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: video, NTSC, camera, mcu, daughter_addon_boards, development_platforms_kits, adafruit</div>
