Description

The Arducam B0322 integrates a 2-megapixel OV2311 CMOS sensor with a true global shutter, a critical feature for capturing fast-moving objects without the rolling shutter artifacts common in consumer cameras. Its monochrome pixel array offers higher sensitivity and improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to color sensors, making it particularly effective for IR-enhanced machine perception, barcode reading, and optical tracking.

Housed in a compact 28mm x 38mm board, the module connects via a standard USB 2.0 interface, drawing under 200mA for easy integration into portable and embedded systems. The included low-distortion M12 lens ensures geometric accuracy, which is essential for measurement and 3D reconstruction algorithms. The camera’s UVC compliance guarantees broad OS support, while programmable exposure and external trigger pins enable precise timing control for automated inspection and robotics.

Key Features

  • Global shutter technology captures entire frame simultaneously, eliminating skew for moving objects.
  • Monochrome OV2311 sensor provides high sensitivity, ideal for IR, low-light, and high-contrast scenes.
  • Standard M12 lens mount allows for lens interchangeability to suit different focal lengths and apertures.
  • USB Video Class (UVC) compliance ensures zero-driver setup on most operating systems.
  • Hardware trigger input and strobe output enable precise synchronization with external events or lighting.
  • Supports MJPG and YUY2 output formats for flexible integration with OpenCV, PyTorch, or custom vision pipelines.
  • Compact, lightweight design is suitable for drones, handheld scanners, and embedded AIoT devices.

Applications

  • Machine Vision & Robotics: High-speed inspection, pick-and-place guidance, and robotic navigation.
  • Biometric Security: Iris recognition, facial authentication, and gesture tracking systems.
  • Scientific Imaging: Astrophotography, microscopy, and motion analysis where timing is critical.
  • Industrial Automation: Barcode scanning, optical character recognition (OCR), and quality control.
  • Embedded AI: Edge-based object detection, depth sensing, and smart surveillance on Raspberry Pi.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by this Arducam USB camera?

The camera is UVC (USB Video Class) compliant, making it plug-and-play compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and Raspberry Pi without requiring additional driver installation. It will be recognized as a standard webcam in applications like OpenCV, VLC, or OBS Studio.

How do I use the external trigger feature on the B0322 camera?

The camera board includes pins for an external trigger input. You can connect a GPIO signal from a microcontroller or sensor to initiate capture precisely. Configure the camera's firmware or use supported SDKs (like Arducam's) to set the trigger mode, defining the signal polarity and timing for synchronized image acquisition in automated systems.

Can I change the lens on this camera module?

Yes, the module features a standard M12 (S-mount) lens thread. You can unscrew the included 75° FOV lens and replace it with other M12 lenses offering different focal lengths, apertures, or fields of view to suit your application, such as wide-angle, telephoto, or macro imaging requirements.

What is the advantage of a monochrome global shutter sensor for machine vision?

A monochrome sensor lacks a color filter array, providing higher light sensitivity and spatial resolution. The global shutter captures all pixels simultaneously, eliminating motion distortion. This combination is ideal for high-speed barcode reading, optical tracking, and 3D reconstruction where timing accuracy and image clarity are critical.

What software can I use to control exposure and capture images with this camera?

You can use any software that supports UVC cameras, such as OpenCV (Python/C++), MATLAB, or GStreamer. For advanced control over exposure, gain, and trigger settings, Arducam provides a cross-platform SDK. On Raspberry Pi, you can use the standard V4L2 utilities or integrate it with frameworks like ROS for robotics applications.
