DefendLineII. uCam-TTL JPEG Serial Camera Integration

It is a known fact that C328 JPEG Serial Camera has been discontinued and not available on the market anymore. But there is a replacement called uCam-TTL Serial JPEG Camera module which is currently being produced and sold by Australian company called 4D Systems. The camera has the same QV7640 image sensor, serial interface and command set which makes it compatible with its predecessor. The module draws the same 60mA at 3.3V DC. Despite it is priced at $59 which is a little bit more expensive in comparison with C328, it has more impressive optics and even lens cover, please see the photo below:
