Customization Support: Arducam provides flexible and timely customized ISP R&D support to cater to specific project needs.
Accelerated Time to Market: Off-the-shelf solutions and quick customization services enable users to bring products to market faster and focus on their projects more efficiently.
Cost-Effective Solutions: Users can select different solutions at various stages of proof of concept (PoC) and small production runs, resulting in a lower total cost.
[Renesas Platform Support] This camera has supported the Renesas RZ/V2H platform since November 2025
Demosaic, Gamma correction, Lens shading correction(Option), DPC(Defective pixel correction), Auto White balance, Auto Exposure, Auto Gain, RGB2YUV, Black Level Calibration(BLC), CCM(Color correction matrix)
Recommend Sample Application
Python Demo for Image Capture & Preview
V4L2 Linux driver for Video preview & Still Image capture & Camera controls via IOCTLs
Gstreamer-1.0 support for video recording and network streaming
*Please note: Due to compatibility limitations, the camera currently supports only the interface nearest to the power supply: Orin Nano supports CAM1, while Orin NX supports CAM0.
*The lens is pre-locked at infinity for shipping. Users can adjust the focus as needed by loosening the screw and rotating the lens.
