## Camera sensors ## Camera sensors
Camera sensors, as the name suggests, are cameras that you can connect to your IoT device. They can take still images, or capture streaming video. Some will return raw image data, others will compress the image data into an image file such as a JPEG or PNG. Usually the cameras that work with IoT devices are much smaller and lower resolution that what you might be used to, but you can get high resolution cameras that will rival top end phones. You can get all manner of interchangeable lenses, multiple camera setups, infra-red thermal cameras, or UV cameras.
