Description

The Arducam 5MP OV5647 camera module provides a dedicated imaging solution for space-constrained Raspberry Pi Zero and Compute Module projects. Its native 5-megapixel sensor communicates over the dedicated Camera Serial Interface (CSI) bus via a supplied 15cm flat ribbon cable, ensuring minimal latency and maximum bandwidth for pixel data transmission, supporting video modes up to 1080p at 30fps.

Engineered with a 160-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, this module captures expansive fields of view, making it suitable for applications where peripheral vision is critical. The fixed-focus lens, set from 1 meter to infinity, eliminates the need for manual adjustment. The module’s slender 6mm neck and flexible cable design allow for integration into tight enclosures or mobile platforms, from DIY endoscopes to compact surveillance systems.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 5-megapixel OV5647 CMOS image sensor for detailed stills and video.
  • Ultra-wide 160-degree field of view lens captures expansive scenes in a single frame.
  • Native compatibility with Raspberry Pi Zero and Compute Module via dedicated CSI interface.
  • Supports multiple video modes including 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and VGA at 60/90fps.
  • Fixed-focus lens simplifies deployment with a focus range from 1 meter to infinity.
  • Compact form factor with a 6mm wide neck and flexible 15cm ribbon cable for easy integration.
  • Direct connection to the BCM2835 processor ensures high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi Zero-based surveillance and security camera systems.
  • DIY endoscope or borescope for inspection and diagnostic applications.
  • Drone and UAV first-person view (FPV) or aerial imaging.
  • Wide-angle vision for robotics, machine vision, and object detection.
  • Compact embedded systems requiring high-resolution imaging in tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable and configure this camera module on my Raspberry Pi Zero?

Enable the camera interface via 'sudo raspi-config' under Interface Options. Connect the ribbon cable with the blue tape facing away from the Pi's USB ports. A software setup is required; you may need to update your OS and install specific libraries for the OV5647 sensor to ensure full compatibility and access all resolution settings.

What video resolutions and frame rates does the OV5647 sensor support?

The sensor supports still images up to 5MP (2592x1944). For video, it handles 1080p at 30 frames per second, 720p at 60 fps, and 640x480 (VGA) at 60 or 90 fps. You can configure these modes in your application code using the Raspberry Pi camera libraries after enabling the correct driver for the CSI interface.

Can I use this wide-angle camera with other Raspberry Pi models like the Pi 4?

This module is designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero and Compute Module due to its physical connector and cable. For a Pi 3 or Pi 4, you would need a different camera module with a standard CSI connector or a compatible adapter cable, as the Zero uses a smaller form-factor CSI port.
