Description

The Arducam 12.3MP HQ Camera Module is engineered for developers and system integrators requiring reliable, high-quality imaging on the Raspberry Pi platform. Its 1/2.3-inch sensor captures crisp 12.3-megapixel stills and smooth high-frame-rate video, making it ideal for applications demanding precision and detail.

Integration is streamlined through the companion USB Camera Shield, which provides a plug-and-play interface to Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi OS, eliminating complex driver configurations. The module’s monochrome sensor variant is particularly suited for industrial machine vision, where contrast and detail are paramount, while the integrated IR-cut filter ensures true-to-life color capture in standard visible light environments.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 12.3-megapixel (4056x3040) image sensor for detailed capture.
  • Supports multiple video resolutions: 1080p50, 1520p40, and 990p120 for flexible application needs.
  • Large 1.55µm pixel size enhances light sensitivity and image quality in varied lighting.
  • Fixed 6mm CS-mount lens with a 65-degree horizontal field of view provides a versatile perspective.
  • Integrated IR-cut filter blocks infrared light for accurate color reproduction in visible spectrum imaging.
  • Designed for industrial use with a robust construction for reliable operation.
  • Easy evaluation and integration via the Arducam USB Camera Shield interface.
  • Broad compatibility with Raspberry Pi models and standard Linux/Windows systems.

Applications

  • Industrial machine vision and quality control inspection systems.
  • Raspberry Pi-based security and surveillance monitoring.
  • Document scanning and high-resolution photography projects.
  • Educational and prototyping platforms for computer vision and AI.
  • Embedded vision for robotics, drones, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect this Arducam module to my Raspberry Pi?

This camera module connects via the included Arducam USB Camera Shield. First, attach the camera to the shield's CS lens mount. Then, connect the shield's USB cable to an available USB port on your Raspberry Pi. The system should automatically detect it as a standard USB video class (UVC) device, requiring no additional drivers on Raspberry Pi OS or most Linux distributions.

What software can I use to capture images and video with this camera?

You can use any standard Linux or Raspberry Pi OS application that supports USB webcams, such as VLC, fswebcam, or OpenCV's VideoCapture function. For Python development, libraries like Picamera2 (for legacy support) or OpenCV-Python are recommended. On Windows, it will appear as a standard webcam compatible with software like OBS Studio or AMCap.

Does this camera module support autofocus or manual focus adjustment?

No, this specific module features a fixed-focus 6mm CS lens. Focus is preset at the factory. For different focal lengths or adjustable focus, you would need to source compatible CS-mount lenses separately and attach them to the module's standard CS thread mount, ensuring proper back focal distance adjustment.

Can I use this camera for low-light or night vision applications?

The integrated IR-cut filter makes this module suitable for visible-light imaging only, as it blocks infrared wavelengths. For low-light performance, it relies on its 1.55µm pixel size. For true night vision, you would need a camera module without an IR-cut filter paired with IR illuminators, as this model is optimized for accurate color reproduction in normal lighting conditions.
