Description

The Arducam Multi Camera Adapter Module V2.2 is a specialized MIPI CSI-2 multiplexer designed to expand the camera connectivity of Raspberry Pi single-board computers. It allows developers and system integrators to interface up to four distinct camera sensors onto a single Raspberry Pi board, facilitating complex vision applications without requiring multiple host boards.

This adapter sequentially switches between connected cameras, enabling high-resolution still image capture from each sensor. It is engineered for applications where simultaneous video streaming is not required, making it suitable for sequential photography, 3D scanning, robotic vision, and multi-angle surveillance systems. The V2.2 revision includes firmware updates while maintaining hardware compatibility with its predecessor.

Key Features

  • Enables multi-camera systems on a single Raspberry Pi for advanced computer vision projects.
  • Hardware multiplexer supports sequential access to four independent camera modules.
  • Compatible with popular Raspberry Pi camera sensors: IMX708, OV5647, IMX219, and IMX477.
  • Designed for use with Raspberry Pi models featuring a CSI camera port (Pi 2, 3, 4, Zero).
  • Low-profile design with a 60mm 15-pin FPC cable included for flexible camera placement.
  • Ideal for applications requiring multiple, non-simultaneous high-resolution image captures.
  • Firmware-upgradable design (V2.2) for future compatibility and feature enhancements.

Applications

  • Multi-camera IoT and surveillance systems for sequential monitoring.
  • Robotic vision systems requiring multiple viewing angles.
  • Wildlife camera traps and time-lapse photography setups.
  • 3D scanning and photogrammetry projects.
  • Educational and research platforms for computer vision experimentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect and configure cameras with this adapter?

Connect the adapter's 15-pin FPC cable to your Raspberry Pi's CSI port. Connect up to four compatible cameras to the adapter's ports. You must use identical camera modules (e.g., all IMX708). Control is managed via 3 GPIO pins for multiplexing, and you will need to use Arducam's provided software or libraries to sequentially select and capture from each camera. Ensure your Raspberry Pi OS is updated.

Can all four cameras stream video simultaneously?

No, the adapter operates cameras sequentially, not simultaneously. It is designed primarily for high-resolution still image capture. When attempting video, the frame rate will be significantly reduced as the system switches between cameras. It is not suitable for real-time, multi-camera video streaming applications. Consider it for applications like time-lapse or triggered capture from different angles.

What are the known compatibility issues with Raspberry Pi accessories?

Using a Raspberry Pi Touch Display (DSI interface) concurrently with this adapter may cause I2C bus conflicts, as both share the same bus. It is recommended to use an HDMI display or run the Pi headless when using the multi-camera adapter. Also, ensure you use the specified camera models (IMX708, OV5647, IMX219, IMX477) and do not mix different sensor types on the same adapter board.
