need help to select a 5Mpixel camera to connect to the stm32

[Mmary.1]

Hi guys. I'm going to design a PCB and I want to connect a 5MP camera module to my stm32. I did the same project with the VC0706 Camera Module (SC03MPD) and this time I want to have a higher resolution. Initially, I was thinking about a serial connection to the camera ( since the transfer speed is not important for me and I can use a low-speed image data transfer ) but it seems there are a few camera modules? with 5Mpixel resolution and serial interface so I was just wondering has anyone have any idea what is the cheap and easy way to have a 5Mpixel camera connection to stm32.

Hi @Mmary.1​ ,

In the application note AN5020 Digital camera interface (DCMI) for STM32 MCUs, we mention OV5642 as an ArduCAM 5 Megapixels camera module compatible with STM32 DCMI. But it is a parallel interface.

I hope this document can help you.

Hi, Amel Thanks for your answer. Actually, I've decided to continue with  ArduCAM 5 MP plus which has SPI interface (8Mhz)
