Getting Started
The SC20MPF Camera is a high-end reliable serial camera which can be attached to any host system that
requires a JPEG compressed still camera for embedded imaging applications. The camera uses a 1/2.7''
CMOS color image sensor along with a JPEG compression chip that provides a low powered camera system.
The camera has an on-board serial interface (TTL/RS232/RS485) that is ideal for a direct connection to any
host microcontroller UART or a PC system COM port.
What's in the box: camera body with cable and mounting bracket
1. Connecting the camera to a computer
Power the camera with DC 12V power supply (please use 5V instead if the camera is a customized 5V
version,
please be extra careful when wiring up the 5V version camera, as any wrong wiring would damage
the camera immediately and the camera can not be repaired
computer through serial port if the computer has one, if the computer does not have serial port and/or
the camera comes in TTL or RS485 interface, please use an USB to serial adaptor (Spinel provides a
complimentary USB to serial adaptor with first camera order, please make sure install the driver prior
to use).
