Description
Specifications

The pan-tilt camera module features high-torque 2-DOF bus servos, enabling wide-range rotation on both the horizontal PAN axis (±180°, total range of 360°) and the vertical TILT axis (-45° to 90°, total range of 135°), significantly expanding the camera's field of view.

Built on the General Driver for Robots framework, it integrates seamlessly with the Raspberry Pi 4B and 5, providing enhanced hardware flexibility. An open-source web control demo allows users to easily operate the pan-tilt system via Google Chrome, supporting real-time orientation adjustments and image capture.

In addition to standard photo and video functions, the module includes facial and motion detection, offering a smarter and more accurate monitoring experience. Both the pan-tilt's slave computer demos and the Raspberry Pi camera demos are open source, empowering users to pursue secondary development tailored to their specific needs.

Each joint utilizes a high-precision bus servo with a direct-drive system and is equipped with a 360° 12-bit magnetic encoder for angle sensing. These provide real-time feedback on joint angles, load, and other parameters, supporting closed-loop control. Despite their compact size, the servos deliver a maximum torque of 30kg·cm, ensuring smooth integration into a wide range of projects.

Additionally, a Picatinny rail, 1/4-inch screws, and open-source models and drawings are provided, allowing users to customize and expand the system according to their requirements.

Key features

Easy control via cross-platform web application: The pan-tilt module can be easily connected and controlled from mobile phones, tablets, or computers through a user-friendly web application. Control is as simple as clicking buttons on the interface.
Open Source: The web application is fully open-source, supporting secondary development. Users can customize the interface and add new features according to their needs.
160° Ultra wide-angle camera: Equipped with the OV5647 5MP 160° ultra wide-angle camera, it captures a broader field of view to accommodate various visual requirements.
LED fill light: Integrated LED lighting ensures clear image capture even in low-light environments.
Compact size & high torque: Despite its compact design, the module delivers a peak joint torque of 30kg·cm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
