Description

This Waveshare camera module leverages the Sony IMX219 CMOS sensor, a proven component in embedded vision systems, to provide 8-megapixel still image capture and video streaming. Its 160-degree wide-angle lens minimizes distortion while maximizing the captured scene, making it suitable for applications requiring broad environmental awareness.

The module includes a dedicated infrared LED board, allowing it to operate in complete darkness for 24/7 surveillance or robotic navigation. It connects via a 15-pin FFC cable to compatible carrier boards like the Jetson Nano Developer Kit or Waveshare’s Compute Module IO boards, drawing power directly from the 3.3V supply pin on the header.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 8MP Sony IMX219 CMOS sensor for detailed image capture.
  • Ultra-wide 160° field of view lens minimizes blind spots in monitoring applications.
  • Integrated infrared illumination supports night vision operation without visible light.
  • Direct hardware compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson platforms and Raspberry Pi Compute Modules.
  • Provides 3.3V power output via screw terminals for powering auxiliary LEDs or sensors.
  • Standard 15-pin FFC (flat flexible cable) interface for reliable connection to host SBCs.
  • Compact and lightweight design for integration into space-constrained embedded systems.

Applications

  • AI vision and machine learning projects on NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
  • 24/7 security and surveillance systems with night vision capability.
  • Robotics and autonomous vehicle navigation using wide-angle environmental perception.
  • Face recognition, license plate recognition, and road mark detection systems.
  • Embedded vision for IoT and smart city applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4?

This camera module is designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM3/3+/4) via specific carrier boards like the Compute Module IO Board, not the standard Raspberry Pi 4 with its CSI connector. For a Pi 4, you would need a camera with a standard Pi CSI ribbon cable interface. The included 15-pin FFC cable connects to compatible headers on CM carrier boards or Jetson Nano.

How do I enable the infrared night vision feature?

The infrared LEDs are mounted on the separate included board. Connect this board to the 2-pin header on the main camera module. When powered via the 3.3V screw terminals or the main connector, the LEDs will illuminate. You typically control them via a GPIO pin set high, or they may be always on when power is applied, depending on your carrier board's configuration.

What software and drivers are required to use this with Jetson Nano?

On the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, use the standard JetPack SDK and its pre-installed GStreamer and OpenCV frameworks. The camera uses the standard IMX219 sensor driver already included in the L4T kernel. Capture video using V4L2 utilities or OpenCV's VideoCapture function, specifying the correct /dev/video device node after connecting the camera via the 15-pin FFC cable to the Jetson's CSI connector.

What is the power requirement for the camera module?

The core camera module operates at 3.3V, supplied through the 15-pin FFC connector from the host board (Jetson Nano or CM carrier). The separate infrared LED board also requires 3.3V, which can be provided via the two screw terminals on the camera module, which output 3.3V from the main connector. Ensure your host board can supply sufficient current for both the sensor and LEDs.

Package Includes

  • 1 x IMX219-160IR Camera Module
  • 1 x Infrared LED Board (2x LEDs)
  • 1 x 15-pin FFC Cable (opposite sides contact)
