Sony IMX219 8MP 160° FOV Fisheye Camera Module for Raspberry Pi

Description

Engineered around the Sony IMX219 1/4-inch CMOS sensor, this camera module delivers 8-megapixel still images and Full HD video capture, making it a versatile component for embedded vision systems. The integrated 160° fisheye lens drastically expands the scene coverage, which is critical for applications like security DVRs, drone FPV, and wide-angle inspection where a standard lens would be insufficient.

The module communicates via a dedicated MIPI CSI-2 bus, ensuring high-speed data transfer to the Raspberry Pi’s VideoCore GPU for minimal CPU overhead during video processing. Its compact form factor and pre-drilled mounting holes allow for straightforward mechanical integration into enclosures or robotic platforms. With support for standard Raspberry Pi camera software stacks, it enables rapid development for AI vision, motion detection, and time-lapse photography projects.
