low cost 10 pack Customizable MiPi camera module

MIPI camera refers to a digital camera that adopts the MIPI interface standard and is suitable for fields such as mobile devices, smart homes, medical equipment, etc

Pixel: The pixels of MIPI cameras determine the resolution of the image. The more pixels there are, the higher the image resolution. Common MIPI camera pixels include 5 million, 8 million, 12 million, 16 million, 21 million, etc.
Module specifications: MIPI cameras generally use COB (Chip On Board) or COF (Chip On Flex) packaging technology. COB packaging has high integration and stable performance; COF packaging is compact and lightweight, bendable and foldable, suitable for bending or curved devices.
Chip size: MIPI camera chip size affects module size and imaging performance. Common chip sizes include 1/3.2 inch, 1/2.3 inch, 1/1.8 inch, etc. The larger the chip size, the larger the pixel size, and the better the imaging effect.
Lens: The MIPI camera lens is responsible for focusing and optical imaging. Common lenses include wide-angle lenses, telephoto lenses, zoom lenses, etc. Different lenses are suitable for different scenes and needs.
VCM: VCM (Voice Coil Motor) refers to a controllable diaphragm motor, which is a key component of MIPI camera autofocus. The performance of VCM affects the focusing speed and accuracy. Generally, the VCM of MIPI cameras is controlled through the I2C interface.
Output methods: Common output methods for MIPI cameras include MIPI D-PHY, MIPI C-PHY, Sub LVDS, etc. Among them, MIPI D-PHY is the most commonly used output method, which has advantages such as high speed, low power consumption, and strong reliability.
Aperture: Aperture refers to the size of the optical aperture of a lens, which affects the brightness and depth of field of an image. The smaller the aperture value, the brighter the lens and the shallower the depth of field; The larger the aperture value, the darker the lens and the deeper the depth of field. MIPI cameras generally use fixed aperture or automatic aperture.
In summary, pixels, module specifications, chip size, lens, VCM, output mode, aperture, and other key parameters in MIPI cameras affect each other, determining the imaging quality and applicable scenarios of MIPI cameras. For consumer electronics products such as smartphones, tablets, etc., the common MIPI camera pixels are between 12 million and 21 million, using COB packaging technology. The chip size is generally 1/2.3 inch and adopts MIPI D-PHY output mode, which has the characteristics of high speed and low power consumption. For fields such as industrial vision and medical equipment, MIPI cameras require higher pixels and better imaging effects. They use COF packaging technology and larger chip sizes, combined with different lenses and VCMs, to achieve high-speed and high-precision imaging.
