Overview
This 2DOF Camera Platform (2 DOF Camera PTZ) is a flexible expansion module for programmable robot car kits, providing pan/tilt camera angle adjustment via two PWM 9G digital servos. The USB camera is designed for plug-and-play use with development boards such as Raspberry Pi and Jetson for image acquisition, target tracking, and other programmable vision tasks.
Key Features
- 2 DOF electric rotation: horizontal 180° and vertical 180° movement.
- USB driver-free camera: standard USB interface, plug and play.
- Two camera configurations are available: 1MP (720P) or 2MP (1080P) options.
- 9G digital servos: YB-SG90 9G digital servo (PWM control).
- All aluminum alloy structure: anodized black aluminum alloy.
- Broad controller compatibility: supports Jetson, Jetson Nano, Jetson Orin Nano SUPER, Jetson Orin NX SUPER, Raspberry Pi, and RDK series boards via USB.
- Servo driver support: supports most 5V powered PWM servo driver boards on the market.

Installation Notes
- The DOF gimbal has a certain height, and two copper columns are provided by default.
- If the chassis has reserved servo holes, an installation method can be used to reduce overall height; it can also be installed directly on the chassis surface.
- Mounting can be completed using screws and copper columns for fast installation on a robot chassis.
Applications
- Robot car vision expansion (pan/tilt viewing angle adjustment)
- Image acquisition and target tracking (via user programming)
- Environmental monitoring scenarios (non-contact visual observation)
- AI vision projects on Raspberry Pi/Jetson such as face recognition, object tracking, and automatic obstacle avoidance (via user programming)

Details

A compact 2DOF pan/tilt camera platform combines a driver‑free USB camera with two 9g digital servos for robotics projects.

Choose between the 1MP (720P) and 2MP (1080P) USB camera configurations to match your field‑of‑view and performance needs.

Pan and tilt movement provides up to 180° rotation on both axes for flexible viewing angles and tracking tasks.

An anodized aluminum alloy frame helps keep the PTZ mount rigid while staying lightweight for small robot chassis.

PWM-controlled 9g digital servos drive the pan/tilt axes for programmable motion control.

Standard 20 ms PWM control makes it easy to integrate with common servo driver boards and microcontrollers.

The USB camera uses a standard interface for plug‑and‑play image acquisition on Raspberry Pi and Jetson boards.

Wide‑angle optics are available in two versions, with up to 120° or 148° diagonal field of view depending on the camera option.

Two mounting approaches help manage overall height depending on whether your chassis has reserved servo holes.

USB connectivity supports a broad range of development boards for AI vision and robotics prototypes.

Works with most 5V-powered PWM servo driver boards for reliable pan/tilt control.



A robot driver expansion board can simplify powering the system while driving both the servos and the USB camera.


Bundled learning materials include setup steps, sample code, and reference documentation for getting started faster.

Additional servo drive routines and documentation are provided for MSPM0G3507-based control workflows.

Project examples cover common computer-vision tasks and help validate your camera and tracking pipeline.

Dimension diagrams and the parameter table help confirm fit and interface details for the 2DOF PTZ USB camera platform before installation.

The included YB-SG90 9g servos list 4.8–6V input, 500–2500µs PWM control, and a 27.3 × 23.2mm body size for compact PTZ builds.

The 2DOF camera PTZ platform provides a compact camera-on-bracket assembly, with 3D model file support for easier integration planning.

The 2DOF camera PTZ platform mounts on small robots and rovers to provide pan-and-tilt camera movement for vision projects.

This 2DOF pan-tilt camera platform pairs a compact USB camera with YB-SG90 9g servos for Pi or Jetson projects.

The 2DOF PTZ kit includes an HD camera module, a 40cm camera data cable, and an assembled bracket set with two YB-SG90 9G servos and mounting hardware.
