Design and Construction
The camera features a small PCB-mounted camera sensor with a fixed-focus lens, providing a compact solution for embedded vision applications. Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for projects where space and weight are important considerations.
The included flexible ribbon cable allows the camera to be connected directly to the Raspberry Pi CSI camera interface. Its compact 25 × 24 mm form factor makes it easy to mount inside custom enclosures, robots, drones, monitoring systems, and other projects.
Working Principle
The camera sensor captures light through its fixed-focus lens and converts the optical information into digital image data. The data is transferred to the Raspberry Pi through the CSI interface, where it can be processed, displayed, stored, or used by software applications.
The camera can be used for both still-image capture and video recording. Depending on the selected resolution and frame rate, it supports modes such as 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and VGA at up to 90fps.
