Description
Overview
Raspberry Pi multi-camera adapter is designed for connecting more than one MIPI camera to a single CSI camera port on the Raspberry Pi board. One adapter board can connect 4 cameras on a single Raspberry Pi board. Please note that the Raspberry Pi multi-camera adapter board is a nascent product that may have some stability issues and limitations because of the cable’s signal integrity and RPi’s closed source video core libraries, so use it at your own risk. The latest revision of the Arducam Multi Camera Adapter is V2.2. The V2.2 undergoes firmware updates, but the specs, documentation, and tutorials on the V2.1 will still apply to the V2.2.
⚠️ Raspberry Pi Touch Display (DSI interface) Compatibility Issues
When you use a DSI display together with this adapter, you will encounter the issue of I2C conflicts. We recommend you use HDMI displays or run headless when using this adapter.
⚠️ Camera Module Compatibility
The Arducam Multi-camera adapters ONLY support 3 kinds of camera modules by default:
- 5MP OV5647 (V1.3) for Raspberry Pi
- 8MP IMX219 (V2.1) for Raspberry Pi
- 12MP IMX477 (HQ) for Raspberry Pi
ALL other MIPI camera modules intended to be used with Arducam multi-camera adapters needs extra customization. Extra fees may occur.

If you need the cameras to run at a certain resolution or framerates, please request customization. Extra fees may occur.
