The OV7670 image sensor is a low voltage CMOS sensor that provides the full functionality of a single-chip VGA camera and image processor in a small footprint package. The OV7670 provides full-frame, sub-sampled or windowed 8-bit images in a wide range of formats, controlled through the Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) interface.This product has an image array capable of operating at up to 30 frames per second (fps) in VGA.

Arduino tutorial:

Get arduino connection digram, Arduino code and Windows App from the Documents tab of this page.


Make ciruit connection according to the arduino connection digram. The Uplaod the Arduino Code to your arduino. Next download and install the Windows App.


Open this windows app and select the correct COM port. Press "start" and you'll be able to take and save photos. We took a photo with the camera.

Q: Where is AL422B FIFO memory? without this memory it is difficult to interface the camera as it is not available neither with camera nor in Techshop.There are some OV7670 camera module with AL422B FIFO memory. Do you have any plan to manage such kind of module? Questioned by Razu Ahmmed, 27-Nov-2012

Not recently. Some fifo are available at local market. Answered by Fahad, 01-Dec-2012 03:39 AM

Q: the last link in document section "Development resources: demo codes, schematic, datasheets, etc." is unavailable. would be better if u fix this. Questioned by shariful.sumon, 15-Dec-2013

Q: Some days ago my brother brought this for me... But dont know how to interface it with arduino or any other things. Can anyone help me??? Questioned by Rahul.iub, 28-Dec-2013

without fifo > it's shitty shit.... i'm digging about 1 month long ... without fifo I need a oscilloscope or wave generator first ... and someone to help me with image-processing sbhitt .... And everything is impossible in my situation ....... but one day i'll make my (870/= + vat + courier charge ) usefullll ..... Answered by CopperMasud, 05-Apr-2015 22:50 PM

Q: is it with fifo??? Questioned by refatjany, 13-Feb-2016

No FIFO. Answered by A.R, 14-Feb-2016 10:44 AM

Q: I wonder how could it support "flash strobe" while the schematic provided in the document section shows the strobe pin(pin E2 of OV7670) is not connected to any pin header, or the schematic is the wrong one! any Idea ?? Questioned by Mehedi1997, 04-Jan-2017
