The ZM 0.3 Megapixel Serial JPEG Camera Module captures still images and transmits them over a serial (RS232) interface at up to 115200 bps. Built around the OmniVision OV7725 VGA colour sensor with built-in JPEG codec, this compact module requires no external DRAM and operates at low power.

With support for VGA, QVGA, and 160×120 resolutions, this camera is well suited for embedded imaging, remote monitoring, and robotics applications. A 5V supply and simple serial protocol make integration straightforward.
