0.3 Mega Pixels Serial JPEG Camera with NTSC Video
SC03MPD User Manual, Rev. D

Introduction
The SC03MPD series camera is a 0.3 mega pixels JPEG color compression module that performs as a video
camera or a JPEG compressed still camera and can be attached to a wireless or PDA host. Users can send out
a snapshot command from the host in order to capture a full resolution single-frame still picture. The picture is
then compressed by the JPEG engine and transferred to the host.
It outputs NTSC/PAL video and can take snapshots of that video (in color) and transmit them over the TTL
serial link. You can snap pictures at 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 and they're pre-compressed JPEG images
which makes them nice and small and easy to store on an SD card. Perfect for a data-logging, security, or
photography project.

TX and RX are default as RS232 level as shown in the figure above, however if TTL is desired, it can be
achieved as follow (not recommend) (TTL level can be also supplied without U106):
(1) Remove SP3232 IC (U106)
(2) Add 0 Ohm resistance in R400 and R401

Note: After any change, please reset the camera to make the change valid.
10. MOTION DETECTION:
The motion detection function is default as disabled after each power off, if the motion detection is enabled,
the camera then will alert the host if the camera detects a change in the objects in the view by sending out “76
00 39 00 00” to the host through serial link. The host can enable or disable the motion detection by issuing
following commands:
To enable the motion detection function, send the command: 56 00 37 01 01, receiving ACK: 76 00 37 00 00

ACK
（76 00 24 00 00）

To disable the motion detection function, send the command: 56 00 37 01 00, receiving ACK: 76 00 37 00 00
If receiving ACK: 76 00 37 00 00: 76 00 37 03 00, wrong setting, please try it again.
How it works: when the camera detects a change, it will send out “76 00 39 00 00” to host through serial link,
when the host receives such information, it is recommended to disable the motion detection first before image
capturing (to prevent image data interference from motion detection), the motion detection can be enabled
again after image capturing is complete for next capture.
10.1 SET MOTION DETECTION SENSITIVITY
The host can set the sensitivity of motion detection for the camera by issuing this command.
56 00 31 05 01 01 1A 6E XX
Receiving ACK command 76 00 31 00 00
XX represents the sensitivity of motion detection, ranges from 00 to FF.
If XX is 00, most sensitive, might alert wrong detection.
If XX is FF, least sensitive, might not be able to alert.
XX = 03 is recommended.
Therefore, the recommended procedures to use motion detection in the field would be:
Step 1: set right motion detection sensitivity by issuing command: 56 00 31 05 01 01 1A 6E 03
Step 2: enable motion detection by issuing command: 56 00 37 01 01
10.2 INQUIRE MOTION DETECTION STATUS
The host can inquire the motion detection status by issuing this command.
56 00 38 00
If receiving ACK command 76 00 38 00 01 00, the motion detection is disabled.
If receiving ACK command 76 00 38 00 01 01, the motion detection is enabled.

12. Capture one image operation process
（1）stop image capture command: 56 00 36 01 02 Return: 76 00 36 00 00
（2）capture the first image command: 56 00 36 01 00 Return: 76 00 36 00 00
（3）read the first image data length command: 56 00 34 01 00
Return: 76 00 34 00 04 00 00 XX YY

（4）read the first image data command: 56 00 32 0C 00 0A 00 00 XX XX 00 00 YY YY 00 FF
Return: 76 00 32 00 00 FF D8 。。。。。。 FF D9 76 00 32 00 00
00 00 XX XX ---- start address(the address must be multiples of 8，first high byte, then low byte)
00 00 YY YY ----the length of image data（high byte，low byte）
13. Capture two images operation process
（1）power on and delay 2.5s
（2）capture the second image command: 56 00 36 01 01
Return: 76 00 34 00 04 00 00 XX YY
（3）stop image capture command: 56 00 36 01 02 Return: 76 00 36 00 00
Every stop image capture command will snap an image, performing twice will capture two images.
For example, performing “stop image capture command” the first time will snap the first image, after 1s (the
delay is adjustable), performing the second time will snap the second image.
Note: Performing the third time 3 times will overwrite the first image, and performing the fourth time will
overwrite the second image. It is two times cycle overwrite.
（4）read first image data length command: 56 00 34 01 00
Return: 76 00 34 00 04 00 00 XX YY
（5）read first image data command: 56 00 32 0C 00 0A 00 00 XX XX 00 00 YY YY 00 FF

00 00 XX XX ---- start address(the address must be multiples of 8，first high byte, then low byte)
00 00 YY YY ----the length of image data（high byte，low byte）
（6）read second image data length command 56 00 34 01 01
