Adafruit Miniature TTL Serial JPEG Camera with NTSC Video

This tiny camera module serves as a versatile addition to a wide range of projects, combining compactness with robust functionality. Designed primarily for security systems, it outputs NTSC color video and captures vivid snapshots, transmitting them over a TTL serial link.

Capture images at resolutions of 640x480, 320x240, or 160x120 in easily storable, pre-compressed JPEG format. Ideal for data logging, security, or creative photography endeavors, this module includes features such as auto-white-balance, auto-brightness, and auto-contrast. Built-in motion detection provides alerts for any movement within the frame, boosting security efforts.

The lens is manually adjustable with a default focal distance spanning 1-15 meters, catering to most project needs. Easy to integrate, this module requires only two digital pins or a TTL serial port, with a default transmission speed of 38400 baud.

To ensure seamless use, extensive libraries for Arduino and CircuitPython, along with detailed tutorials, are available. These resources cover changing image size and compression, motion detection, and video output stream control, maximizing the potential of your camera setup.
