Overview
Designed for seamless integration with Raspberry Pi ecosystems, this camera module combines native V4L2 driver compatibility and a 12.3MP SONY image sensor for high-fidelity imaging. Featuring interchangeable CS/C-mount optics and MIPI CSI-2 interface, it supports rapid deployment in robotics, IoT, and industrial vision applications. The open-source design enables GPIO-driven customization and redevelopment via Raspberry Pi.
As a pioneer in embedded imaging, Arducam offers tailored camera solutions with advanced features like multi-camera synchronization, IR spectrum adaptation, and custom lens calibration — empowering developers to scale vision systems from prototype to production.
Applications
- DSLR Camera Control
- Time-lapse Machine
- Security System
- Remote Viewing Camera
- Instant (Polaroid-Style) Camera, etc.
Features
- Embedded driver compatibility with Linux Video4Linux2 framework enables direct /dev/videoX device access, leveraging Raspberry Pi's GPU-accelerated libcamera pipeline for <3ms latency in RAW image acquisition.
- Interchangeable lens system supports 12.5mm flange back distance (±5µm tolerance) with anti-reflective coating, supporting Ø25.4mm C-mount lenses with large aperture for low TV distortion.
- 1.55µm backside-illuminated pixels with quad Bayer remosaic technology deliver 68dB dynamic range, achieving 3MP binning mode at 0.08 lux illumination (SNR1s threshold).
- 22-pin FPC connector implements MIPI D-PHY protocol (High bandwidth) with <0.1UI jitter, compatible with all Raspberry Pi embedded platforms.
- Seamless compatibility with Raspberry Pi ecosystem and official OS distributions (Bookworm/Bullseye), supported by 150,000+ community-driven projects on GitHub and ROS (Robot OS) packages for rapid prototyping.
