SC3336 3MP Camera (A) - Waveshare Wiki (2024)

Introduction

Adopts a SmartSens SC3336 sensor chip with 3MP resolution, features high sensitivity, high SNR, and low light performance, it is capable of a more delicate and vivid night vision imaging effect, and can better adapt to ambient light changes. Also, it is compatible with Luckfox Pico series boards.

Version Differences

Both SC3336 Camera (A) and SC3336 Camera (B) are based on the SC3336 sensor with the same lens parameters, and their pin definition and usage are the same. The main difference is that SC3336 Camera (B) removes the fixed copper hole, and you can not power the filling light device through the fixed hole. In addition, the SC3336 Camera (B) is more cost-effective with the same function and parameters as the SC3336 Camera (A).

User Guide

This is a camera module designed for Luckfox Pico, only for Luckfox Pico series products, other boards are not supported.
The user guide here involves using the LuckFox Pico with the provided system to capture camera video streams and transmit them for display on a host computer.

Hardware Connection

• Place the metal side of the cable toward the white side of the connector holder, insert it into the board, and press the black buckle to lock it.

• Connect to Luckfox Pico

• Connect to Luckfox Pico Plus

Configure Luckfox Pico Board

• After the board powers on and enters the system, input the following command to check the camera.
  • If the camera is successfully recognized, the rkipc.ini folder will be automatically generated.

# ls /userdata/ethaddr.txt lost+found image.bmp video0 video2 rkipc . ini video1

• Get the IP address of the board, the default IP of Luckfox Pico and Luckfox Pico Plus is 172.32.0.93.

Configure Host Computer

Here we mainly based on Windows computer configuration. Connect the board to the same LAN as the computer, Luckfox Pico can also be directly connected to the USB port of the computer via cable, using the RNDIS virtual network card to configure.

• Windows Security Center -> Firewall and Network Protection -> Disable Firewall.

• Open Settings -> Advanced Network Settings -> Change Adapter Options.
• Select the network adapter device recognized after inserting the board, usually with a similar name like "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device," right-click and open Properties.
• Double click Internet Protocol version (TCP/IPv4), set the IPV4 address as 172.32.0.94 to avoid conflicts with devices.

Streaming Using VLC Media Player Software

• Download and install VLC Media Player.
• Open VLC Media Player software, select Media -> Network Stream.

• Input the corresponding IP address: rtsp://172.32.0.93/live/0 (172.32.0.93 is the default IP of the board).

• If you use Luckfox Pico PLus and connect to the wired network, you also can stream using the IP address of eth0.

• Finally, click play, and you can see the camera screen. Also, the camera's lens can be adjusted, and the user can adjust the lens for focusing:
