Our Review
After integrating the CAM Camera Module WiFi Module Serial to WiFi CAM Development Board with OV2640 Camera Module into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Sensor: OV2640 2MP, Resolution: 2592x1944, Interface: DVP parallel.
Image quality was respectable for the sensor size. Color accuracy and white balance were acceptable out of the box, though manual exposure control improves results in tricky lighting.
Integration with the host platform was straightforward. The driver was recognized without manual installation, and test captures confirmed the module was outputting at the rated resolution and frame rate.
Overall, the CAM Camera Module WiFi Module Serial to WiFi CAM Development Board with OV2640 Camera Module fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
What We Like
- Multiple interface options for different host platforms
- Decent resolution for embedded computer vision tasks
- Compact module integrates easily into custom enclosures
- Adjustable focus for close-up and distant subjects
Watch Out For
- Focus distance fixed on many budget modules
- No onboard image processing — all load on host MCU/SBC
- Ribbon cable is fragile and difficult to re-seat
