HI

Cost of camera module is quantity dependent!

I have designed a product for the security market with camera module who cost less then 2 USD (Camera module cost) in 10000 unit quantity

The project used a CORTEX M3 micro + jpeg encoder IC + cell modem + PIR detector and a camera module

project total cost was less then 10 USD (not including the cell modem cost) for 10000 unit

All the best

Hi,
I am working on security camera which will take snaps and send through GPRS to server.

I need a cheap but better (price-quality trade off) camera module with jpeg compression which can be connected with ARM7 microcontroller via serial, SPI or IIC. Camera resolution should be >1Megapixel.

Where I can find this sort of camera modules? How to compare the quality of the camera modules? What is the price range for this sort of camera modules?

Any suggestion regarding this is appreciated.
