Not every embedded vision project needs a 4-lane camera. A 2-lane MIPI module keeps wiring and board requirements simple. Chinneo's SC4336P 4MP camera module uses a 2-lane interface with a 98 degree wide-angle M12 lens. The SC4336P sensor is described as sensitive and low-noise for low-light scenes, and the module is designed for RV1103 and RV1106 boards.

Setting it up
The lens focus is set by hand. Mount the camera at its final position, focus on the subject distance you care about, and secure the lens before sealing the enclosure. The 98 degree view covers a broad area from close range, which suits indoor monitoring and bench-top vision work.
Questions to settle before you order
- Frame rate. It is not specified, so confirm the video mode your project needs.
- Cable length. The length of the 22PIN connection cable is not specified.
