This is small in size, and low powered camera module for high resolution serial bus monitoring system. This solution was originally designed for use with Teltonika wireless terminals - microcontrollers in purpose to extend their monitoring options with real time video broadcasting. But it is also possible to use it as stand alone product and integrate it with your own products to fit your needs. With help of our camera you can create stand alone remote monitoring system, where all data will be transferred via GSM/GPRS network. Using GSM data services you will be able to send images to any server in the internet. Once images are stored in the server, into a data-base, they can be accessed by any device with browsing capability, like a computer or a hand held device or even a GSM phone with internet browser.

Technical specification

Features:

• Small in size, low cost and low powered camera module for high resolution serial bus monitoring system
• On-board EEPROM provides a command based interface to external host via RS-232
• UART: 115.2Kbps for transferring JPEG still pictures or 160x128 preview @8bpp with 0.75fps
• On board OmniVision OV7640/8 VGA color sensor
• Built-in JPEG CODEC for different resolutions
• Built-in down sampling, clamping and windowing circuits for VGA, QVGA, 160x120 or 80x60 image resolutions
• Built-in color conversion circuits for 2-bit gray, 4-bit gray, 8-bit gray, 8-bit RGB, 12-bit RGB
• 16-bit RGB or standard JPEG preview images
• No external DRAM required

Configuration

Camera Sensors:

• The C328 uses OmniVision OV7640/8 VGA CameraChips with an 8-bit YCbCr interface.

OV528 serial bridge:

• The OV528 Serial Bridge is a controller chip that can transfer mage data from CameraChips to external device. The OV528 takes 8-bit YCbCr 422 progressive video data from an OV7640 CameraChip. The camera interface synchronizes with input video data and performs down-sampling, clamping and windowing functions with desired resolution, as well as color conversion that are requested by the user through serial bus host commands. The JPEG CODEC with variable quality settings can achieve higher compression ratio & better image quality for various image resolutions.

Program memory:

• A serial type program memory is built-in for this camera, which provides user-friendly commands to interface external control units.

Applications:

• Designed for monitoring of any remote object
• Allows you to send images over GSM network, if used together with GSM/GPRS/EDGE/… modems
• Ability to connect our camera to any serial port which is designed for this
