Overview
This Arducam High Quality motorized focus camera module integrates a motor that could be controlled by software for a smarter focus, and you will no longer focus the camera by screwing the lens with your bare hands. Instead, keyboard keys or OpenCV can be used to remotely control the focusing process of your HQ camera. To learn more about autofocus with Raspberry Pi camera modules, we recommend you read Raspberry Pi Camera Autofocus: The Complete Guide.
Applications
- DSLR Camera Control
- Remote Viewing Camera
- Time-lapse Machine
- Security System
- Smart Video Doorbell
- Face Recognition
- Instant (Polaroid-Style) Camera, etc.

Note
-
Our camera module support 4-lane in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires extra customization. Here is why:
-
Standard Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX can’t physically support a 4-lane connection (both of them only have 2-lane CSI connectors). Only the Raspberry Pi Compute Module and some 3rd party Jetson Carrier Boards come with 4-lane hardware support. Therefore, it’s not a general need.
-
Extra works, specifically camera drivers, are required for a 4-lane connection other than the 4-lane physical connector. And the drivers are limited by the performances of the platform itself. For example, 4-lane can’t unlock 4k video on Raspberry Pi because the VideoCore does not currently support it. Jetson Nano is also to some extent limited because of the encoding capabilities. You need to make sure you really need it.
-
- It is not recommended to replace the default lens on the camera module, contact us first if needed
- Raspberry Pi board is not included in the package
