Camera - Embedded Camera

Embedded cameras are small camera modules designed for embedded systems, such as development boards and smart devices. These cameras connect through different interfaces based on the specific requirements of the application. Here’s a simple breakdown of the common types:

1. USB Camera: It connects via USB, is easy to install, suitable for applications requiring high image quality, such as video surveillance or video conferencing.

2. SPI Camera: It connects via the SPI interface, ideal for low-power devices. It has slower data transfer speeds and is used for simple image capturing.

3. UART Camera: It connects via the UART interface and is suitable for low-bandwidth needs. It’s typically used in low-resolution, low-frame-rate applications.

4. I2C Camera: It connects via the I2C bus, suitable for connecting multiple sensors. It offers lower data transfer speeds, ideal for low-resolution images.

5. Grove Camera: It connects via the Grove interface and is designed for quick prototyping. Common in educational and simple projects.

6. HDMI Camera: Connects via HDMI, and supports high-definition image and video output. Best for applications requiring high-resolution video, such as HD video surveillance.
