ducam

Ducam is a brand name used by multiple manufacturers in the imaging and camera industry. It does not refer to a single universal device; instead, ducams denote a range of products including consumer webcams, compact cameras, and embedded camera modules sold under various labels.

Because several unrelated companies have used the duc am branding, there is no single technical standard for a "ducam." Product features vary by model, but common elements include a CMOS image sensor, fixed or adjustable optics, and interfaces such as USB, MIPI CSI-2, or parallel output.

Typical applications include personal video conferencing, home surveillance, robotics and automation, and educational or prototyping projects using development boards and single-board computers.

History and overview: The term gained popularity with the proliferation of affordable consumer and embedded cameras in the 2000s and 2010s. Several manufacturers used the name to market budget or modular camera components, contributing to a diffuse range of products under the duc am label.
