The Arducam HM01NB0 is an ultralow power CMOS Image Sensor that enables the integration of an “Always On” camera for computer vision applications such as gestures, intelligent ambient light and proximity sensing, tracking and object identification. The unique architecture of the sensor allows the sensor to consume very low power of <2mW at QVGA 30FPS.
We've also turned this sensor into an SPI camera for RP2040 & Arduino boards.
