Description

The Arducam 8MP IMX219 Camera Module integrates a Sony IMX219 1/4-inch rolling shutter sensor, providing a significant upgrade in resolution and low-light performance over previous Raspberry Pi camera versions. Its M12 lens mount allows for lens interchangeability, while the integrated IR filter ensures accurate color reproduction in visible light conditions.

Communicating via a 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, this module is optimized for the Raspberry Pi’s camera serial interface, offering a streamlined path for high-bandwidth image data. It is fully supported by the libcamera software stack on the latest Raspberry Pi OS, enabling advanced computational photography, time-lapse, and machine vision applications directly on the Pi platform.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor with superior color fidelity.
  • M12 threaded lens mount for easy lens swapping and customization.
  • Integrated IR-cut filter for accurate color rendering in visible light.
  • Supports multiple video modes including 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 60fps.
  • Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models (1-4, Zero, Zero 2W) using supplied FPC cables.
  • Requires Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye or newer with libcamera for full functionality.
  • Low-distortion optical design for crisp, accurate image capture.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi-based computer vision and machine learning projects.
  • Home security and surveillance monitoring systems.
  • Time-lapse photography and slow-motion video capture.
  • Octoprint 3D printer monitoring and print failure detection.
  • Wildlife camera traps and environmental monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Raspberry Pi models is this Arducam IMX219 camera compatible with?

This camera module is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a CSI camera port, including Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3, 3B+, 4, Zero, and Zero 2W. For the Pi Zero models, you must use the included 15-to-22 pin FPC adapter cable to connect to the smaller port. Note that full software support requires Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye or a newer release, as it relies on the libcamera stack instead of the legacy camera software.

What software and OS are required to use this 8MP camera module?

You must use Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye (released January 2022) or a later version. The legacy Raspberry Pi OS (Buster or earlier) does not support this module. Enable the camera interface via `sudo raspi-config` under 'Interface Options'. Use the libcamera-apps (e.g., `libcamera-still`, `libcamera-vid`) for capture. The older `raspistill` and `raspivid` commands from the legacy stack are not compatible with this camera on modern OS versions.

Can I change the lens on this Arducam module?

Yes, the module features a standard M12 (S-mount) threaded lens mount, allowing you to unscrew the default 2.8mm lens and replace it with other M12 lenses for different focal lengths, apertures, or fields of view. This is ideal for applications requiring telephoto, wide-angle, or macro perspectives. Ensure any replacement lens is designed for a 1/4-inch sensor format to avoid vignetting.

What are the dimensions and weight of the camera module?

The camera module itself is compact, with a PCB typically measuring around 25mm x 24mm. The overall shipping dimensions, which include the cables, are 5 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm. The total package weight is approximately 0.02 kg (20 grams), making it lightweight and easy to integrate into portable or space-constrained Raspberry Pi projects such as drones or wearable devices.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Arducam 8MP IMX219 Camera Module
  • 1 x 15cm 15-pin FPC Cable
  • 1 x 50cm 15-pin FPC Cable
  • 1 x 15cm 15-to-22-pin FPC Adapter Cable (for Pi Zero)
