GC2145 DVP Camera Module - 2MP OV2640 Replacement
The GC2145 DVP Camera Module is a modern 2MP upgrade designed as a drop-in alternative to the popular but aging OV2640. Built around the GC2145 sensor with a 1600×1200 active array, 1/5" format, and 1.75 µm pixels, it delivers crisp images with stable colors, sharper details, and reliable low-light performance. The included wide-angle lens provides a generous field of view of approximately 115° diagonal, 95.8° horizontal, and 77° vertical with an effective focal length of about 1.4 mm, making it ideal for compact enclosures and applications where space is limited.
This module connects through an 8-bit DVP parallel interface with D0–D7, PCLK, HSYNC/VSYNC, and XCLK, while configuration remains simple thanks to SCCB/I²C control. It supports multiple output formats including YUV422, RGB565, and RAW Bayer, ensuring flexibility for different image pipelines. Compatibility is extensive: the GC2145 integrates seamlessly with ESP32 and ESP32-S3 boards, STM32 microcontrollers with DCMI, NXP i.MX RT devices with CSI, the Raspberry Pi RP2040 via PIO capture, Kendryte K210, Arduino Portenta H7 and GIGA, Renesas RZ/A, GD32F4x0, and many other MCUs and SoCs that feature an 8-bit DVP capture path.
The GC2145 DVP Camera is particularly valuable for upgrading legacy ESP32-CAM projects that relied on the discontinued OV2640. Its superior image quality and wide compatibility make it perfect for IoT cameras, smart locks, robots, drones, badges, vision sensors, and AI-enabled edge devices. By choosing the GC2145, developers gain a compact and future-proof camera module that delivers consistently better results while fitting directly into existing builds.
