MT9V111 – 0.3 MP Camera Module – discontinued

Description

MT9V111 – 0.3 MP Camera Module

This product has been discontinued by the manufacturer, and we are out of stock.

The MT9V111 – 0.3 MP Camera Module (B0059) features the MT9V111 color sensor from Aptiva. The sensor has a 1/4.0″ optical format, which combined with the pixel size of 5.6 µm x 5.6 µm, provides the 0.3 MP (640 x 480) VGA image. This is a rolling shutter sensor, which captures an entire column (or row) simultaneously, and compiles the image by scanning across (or down).

Lens Mounts:

These camera modules are sold with bundled with the M12 LS-6020 lens (with or without the IR filter) and plastic mount. They are also available without a lens – just a generic plastic lens mount to protect the sensor during shipping. A higher quality metal M12 or CS lens mount or a motorized IR cutoff filter mount may be purchased separately; for the motorized IR cutoff filter mount, the user must supply the 5-18 V power.

The key benefit of the standard lens mounts available with this module is the simplicity in swapping the lens – fisheye, wide-angle, telephoto, zoom, IR or NoIR filter – all of which are available from DLSCorp. Click on the Camera Lenses product category for the complete selection of ArduCAM lenses. Be sure to note the compatible lens mount height (7 mm, 10 mm, or 14.5 mm) for each lens selected if you chose an M12 metal mount option. Note, each lens purchased separately comes with its appropriate height lens mount (plastic for M12, metal for CS), so you may choose to purchase the camera with only a generic plastic lens mount (to protect the sensor). Click on the Camera Lens Mounts product category for information about lens mounts, including compatibility with the various lenses.

Camera Shields:

In the Arduino world, a “shield” is a piggy-back circuit board that provides additional functionality to the development board. In this context, a camera shield provides the required interface from the camera module to your computer. You may choose to create your own custom-built hardware interface via the 20-pin 0.1″ pitch connector. Or, you may purchase one of the available ArduCAM camera shields.

You may use the ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2 (B0051) or the ArduCAM LF Shield Rev V2 (B0052) to connect to Arduino system boards. Open-source software and binaries are provided on the ArduCAM GitHub site (see link below) for these shields.
