Description
Overview
The Arducam monochrome (B&W) global shutter 1280×800 resolution OV9281 camera module is mainly designed for Raspberry Pi boards, and it can be connected directly to RPi’s CSI-2 camera interface without additional hardware.
The Arducam OV9281 camera breakout incorporates Omnivision 1/4-inch 1 Mp (1280×800) CMOS digital image sensor which is capable of operating at up to 60fps in 1MP ( 1280×800 ) resolution at 1-lane MIPI mode. The OV9281’s high frame rates make it an ideal solution for low-latency machine vision applications.
The sensor’s global shutter and excellent low-light sensitivity allow it to be used for any application that needs gesture detection, head, and eye tracking, and depth and motion detection.
Applications
- Security
- High dynamic range imaging
- Unattended surveillance
- Stereo vision
- Machine vision
- Automation
Features
- USB 3.0 quick development and evaluation board is for sensors like OV9281.
- For ReV.A, check Arducam driver; For Rev.B, check Raspberry Pi driver .
- Monochrome global shutter Camera Module with M12 Mount lens directly inserts to CSI slot on Raspberry Pi. Support Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 3/3B+/3A+, CM3/3+, Pi Zero and more.
- Supported By The Lastest Official Firmware: The Raspberry Pi has recently updated its firmware with V4L2 camera drivers, which adds support including for OV9281. Thus this OV9281 camera module is compatible with the official V4L2 camera driver, and you can get it working easily just by enabling the overlay
