ArduCAM 2MP Low Light USB Camera Module - USB camera module with 2MP IMX291 sensor

Description

Arducam Tiny USB Camera is a high-quality compact camera designed for a wide range of applications, from surveillance and streaming to vision systems in robotics and IoT devices. Equipped with an advanced Sony IMX291 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor, the camera provides an 80dB wide dynamic range, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in various lighting conditions, delivering clear and detailed images. Its high light sensitivity (0.01 lux) enables capturing sharp recordings even in low-light environments, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise imaging with minimal illumination. The camera offers Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080) and supports multiple output formats, including MJPG, YUY2, and H.264, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with different systems.

It features a miniature design, measuring only 19.5 × 15 × 17.3 mm, making it one of the smallest cameras with such capabilities. Despite its compact size, it boasts a durable CNC metal housing, which enhances heat dissipation and increases the device’s durability. The camera is equipped with a mini M12 lens with a 95° field of view, providing a wide observation angle. With manual focus adjustment, users can fine-tune the image for optimal recording quality. It supports Plug & Play technology, meaning no additional drivers are required—simply connect it to a computer, laptop, or Raspberry Pi via USB Type-C or the included USB-A adapter. The camera is fully compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac OS, and Android operating systems, making it an extremely versatile solution for users across various industries.
