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.

Key Features

  • High-Resolution Imaging: Leverages the Sony IMX219 sensor for detailed 8MP (3280x2464) photos and 1080p30 video streams.
  • Ultra-Wide Angle Coverage: The 160° fisheye lens minimizes blind spots, perfect for panoramic and surveillance applications.
  • Direct Raspberry Pi Integration: Uses the native MIPI CSI-2 interface for a clean, driver-compatible connection to most Pi models.
  • Flexible Power Supply: Operates from a 3.3V to 5V DC input, compatible with the Raspberry Pi's 3.3V or 5V GPIO power rails.
  • Fixed-Focus Lens: Pre-calibrated for a broad depth of field, eliminating the need for manual focus adjustments.
  • Compact Mechanical Design: Small 25mm x 24mm footprint with integrated mounting holes for secure placement in tight spaces.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi Surveillance & Security: Deploy as a wide-angle IP camera for home security DVRs or property monitoring systems.
  • Robotics & Drone Vision: Provide expansive environmental awareness for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and First-Person View (FPV).
  • AI & Computer Vision Projects: Feed high-resolution, wide-angle image data to machine learning models for object detection, people counting, or facial recognition.
  • Panoramic & Time-Lapse Photography: Capture sweeping landscapes or create immersive timelapse videos with the ultra-wide fisheye perspective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera module compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?

Yes, but it requires an adapter cable. The module uses a 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 connector, while the Raspberry Pi 5 has a 22-pin connector. You will need a separate 15-pin to 22-pin FFC adapter cable to connect it. For native Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, and 3A+ models, you can use the included 15-pin cable directly without any additional hardware.

What software is needed to use this IMX219 camera with a Raspberry Pi?

Use the standard Raspberry Pi Camera software stack. Enable the camera interface via 'sudo raspi-config' under 'Interface Options'. For Python, install the 'picamera2' library. The module is recognized as a standard CSI camera, so most existing tutorials and code for the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 will work, as both use the same IMX219 sensor. Ensure your OS is updated for full compatibility.

Can the focus of the 160° fisheye lens be adjusted?

No, the lens is fixed-focus. It is factory-calibrated to provide a broad depth of field suitable for most applications from a moderate distance to infinity. This eliminates the need for manual focusing but means it is not designed for extreme macro or very close-up photography. The fixed design ensures consistent performance and simplifies integration for developers.

Package Includes

  • 1 x Sony IMX219 8MP 160° FOV Camera Module
  • 1 x 16cm 15-pin FFC (Flex Flat Cable)
