The Arducam Pivariety Camera, featuring the Mira220 2.2MP NIR global shutter image sensor, is designed for high-performance imaging on the Raspberry Pi. With its 1/2.7-inch sensor and a maximum frame rate of 30fps, this camera excels at capturing fast-paced scenes with exceptional clarity.
The low-distortion M12 lens ensures realistic image reproduction, while its high NIR sensitivity makes it ideal for applications in low-light conditions.
Arducam Pivariety is a Raspberry Pi camera solution that leverages the hardware's ISP functions for enhanced performance and greater versatility in camera and lens options. It overcomes the limitations of the closed-source official camera driver and modules (V1/V2/HQ), allowing users to benefit from well-tuned ISP features such as Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Auto Gain Control, and Lens Shading Correction.
