Description
JPEG Color Camera (TTL Serial Camera Module)
A JPEG color camera module with TTL interface is a compact embedded vision module designed to capture images and transmit them via serial communication to microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. These modules are commonly used in robotics, surveillance, and IoT applications where simple image capture and processing are required. They typically include a CMOS image sensor, onboard image processor, and infrared LEDs for low-light or night vision capability. The module captures images in JPEG format, making it efficient for storage and transmission in embedded systems.
