OV5640 5MP Camera Module for NE101
Price range: $12.00 through $15.00
The OV5640 5MP camera module is the selectable FPC imaging module for the NeoEyes NE101 platform. Choose a 60° or 120° field of view and a fixed-focus distance matched to close-range or standard-distance capture. It connects to the NE101 ESP32-S3 Development Board through a 24-pin, 0.5 mm-pitch FPC interface.
- 5 MP OV5640 CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944.
- Four lens options for wide or narrow views at 8 cm, 15 cm, 3 m, or 4 m focus distances.
- 24-pin, 0.5 mm-pitch FPC connection with an 8-bit DVP parallel image interface.
- Verified for the NeoEyes NE101 camera platform and NE100-MB01 development board.
- Camera module only. A compatible host board, enclosure, light board, power source, and storage are not included.
Important compatibility notice
This module is verified for the NeoEyes NE101 platform and its NE101 development board. It is not a universal plug-and-play camera for every ESP32 or ESP32-S3 board.
Third-party integration requires validation of the 24-pin FPC connector, pinout, power rails, clock, SCCB control, 8-bit DVP data interface, firmware driver, and mechanical fit. Do not connect the module to an unverified board based only on the processor family or connector pitch.

Product Overview
This OV5640 module is the standard FPC camera option for the NeoEyes NE101 Modular Sensing Camera. It uses a 1/4-inch, 5 MP CMOS sensor and supports image capture up to 2592 x 1944. Four fixed-focus lens configurations let you match the camera to the scene instead of relying on one lens for every installation.
Choose 120° FOV when the camera must cover more of the scene at a short mounting distance. The 8 cm version is intended for close-range subjects, while the 3 m version suits wider room, equipment, or outdoor scene capture. Choose 60° FOV when the subject occupies a smaller part of the scene. The 15 cm option is for close targets, and the 4 m option is for a narrower view at a longer working distance.
The module connects directly to the NE101 mainboard through its FPC camera connector. For a complete hands-on camera package with the standard 120° FOV, 3 m module, choose the NeoEyes NE101 Dev Kit. If your project needs a 1080p UVC camera with M12 lens choices instead of the OV5640 FPC module, compare the USB Camera Module for NeoEyes NE101.
Choose the Right Lens
| Lens option | Optical specification | Best fit | Selection note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120° FOV, 8 cm focus | 1.79 mm focal length, F/2.0 | Close-range subjects with broad scene coverage | Choose when the target is near the lens and a wide view is required. |
| 120° FOV, 3 m focus | 1.79 mm focal length, F/2.0 | Standard wide-angle scene capture | This is the standard module included with the NE101 Dev Kit. |
| 60° FOV, 15 cm focus | 3.97 mm focal length, F/2.4 | Close-range subjects needing a tighter frame | Choose when 120° captures too much surrounding area. |
| 60° FOV, 4 m focus | 3.97 mm focal length, F/2.4 | More distant subjects needing a narrower view | Choose for longer working distance and tighter scene coverage. |
Focus distances are preset by lens configuration. Select the required field of view and working distance when ordering.

Product key features
Four application-specific lens options
The two FOV choices and two focus ranges per FOV cover close-range and standard-distance capture. Selecting the lens before deployment reduces the need to reposition the camera or accept an unsuitable composition.
5 MP image capture
The OV5640 sensor supports a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 with JPEG and YUV output. Actual capture settings and image quality depend on the host board, firmware, lighting, and selected lens.
Direct integration with NE101
The module connects to the NE101 mainboard through the 24-pin FPC camera connector. The NE101 hardware connection guide documents the connector signals and the CAM_PWR control required by the platform.
Compact FPC camera format
The camera body measures 8.5 x 8.5 x 6.5 mm without the FPC. Its small form factor is suited to the NE101 enclosure and other custom housings that have been designed around the same connector, pinout, and optical position.
Register-based camera control
The host configures the sensor through SCCB and receives image data through an 8-bit DVP parallel interface. Third-party boards need a matching hardware interface and a compatible OV5640 driver.

Q:Which lens option should I choose?
A: Start with target distance, then choose scene width. Use 8 cm or 15 cm for close targets. Use 3 m or 4 m for standard-distance subjects. Select 120° for a wider scene or 60° for a tighter frame.
Q: Is the focus adjustable?
A: The store options use preset focus distances. Choose the required focus configuration when ordering.
Q: Is this module plug-and-play with any ESP32-S3 board?
A: No. CamThink verifies it for the NeoEyes NE101 platform. A third-party board must match the connector, pinout, power requirements, SCCB control, DVP interface, driver, and mechanical layout.
Q: Can the bare module be installed outdoors?
A: The module has an operating temperature range of -10°C to 65°C, but it has no standalone enclosure or ingress-protection rating. Outdoor use requires a suitable sealed enclosure and validation of the complete assembly.
