Important Note on the Arducam Camarray HAT:

The Camarray HAT is not sold alone for the following reasons:

1. Most of the cameras on the market are not designed for synched stereo uses. We’ve modified our camera modules specifically for the Camarry HAT. Your own V1, V2 or HQ camera modules won’t directly work with it.

2. The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own OV9281 and OV7251 camera modules won’t directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.

Customization is required if you have extra requirements as the following:

1. You need the camera module to run on other Video Modes and Frame Rates.

2. You need to trigger the camera with an External Hardware trigger.
