CMOS camera with RS232 for any type and brand name of GSM / GPRS module

CMOS camera with  JPEG compression module performs as a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera and can be attached to GSM module or PDA via RS232. Users can send out a snapshot command  in order to capture a full resolution single-frame still picture. The picture is then compressed by the JPEG engine and transferred to the host by serial link (UART on CMOS 3,3 V level).

• Longer distance of the cable between camera and PCB (up to meters)
• Multiplexing for up to 256 cameras
• Support of any GSM / GPRS module
• UART 3,3 Volt, but RS232 (+/- 12 Volt level)
• 115.2Kbps for transferring JPEG still pictures or 160x128 preview @8bpp with 0.75fps.
• Built-in JPEG CODEC for different resolutions.
• Built-in down sampling, clamping and windowing circuits for VGA, QVGA, 160x120 or 80x60 image resolutions.
• Built-in color conversion circuits for 2-bit grey, 4-bit grey, 8-bit gray, 12-bit RGB, 16-bit RGB or standard JPEG preview images.
