Product description: CamS3 - 5 MPx camera - ESP32-S3 - WiFi - Unit expansion module - M5Stack U174-B
Unit CamS3 is a versatile camera module based on the efficient ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8 system with 8 MB PSRAM and 16 MB Flash memory. The 5 MPx matrix (PY260) provides high image quality with a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 px , and a wide viewing angle of 88 ° allows you to capture a large field of view. The module supports JPEG image transmission via WiFi or saving to a microSD card . Additionally, CamS3 is equipped with a PDM microphone that allows you to record sound. A programmable LED indicates the module's operating status. The 4-pin port with a 2 mm raster allows you to update the firmware via the included M5Grove to USB Type-C cable , and 1x3-pin connectors allow you to program the ESP32-S3 . The module is perfect for monitoring systems, industrial automation and IoT projects, where wireless image transmission is key.
