Description

The Waveshare IMX219-200 Camera Module integrates the Sony IMX219 CMOS sensor into a compact, ready-to-deploy package tailored for AI edge computing platforms. Its 200-degree ultra-wide-angle lens provides extensive scene coverage, making it suitable for applications requiring broad environmental awareness without multiple sensors. The module operates at a standard 3.3V supply, drawing minimal power for always-on vision systems.

Designed for developer convenience, it connects directly to the camera interface on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano via a supplied 15-pin flat flex cable (FFC). This plug-and-play compatibility extends to Raspberry Pi Compute Module expansion boards, enabling rapid prototyping for computer vision, machine learning inference, and real-time video analytics projects within the IoT and robotics domains.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 CMOS image sensor.
  • Ultra-wide 200-degree diagonal field of view for maximum scene coverage.
  • Fixed-focus lens with a focal length of 0.087 cm and F2.0 aperture.
  • Direct interface compatibility with NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi Compute Module boards.
  • Low-distortion optical design with less than 11% distortion.
  • Compact and lightweight module (16g) for integration into mobile robots or drones.
  • Four mounting screw holes for secure mechanical attachment.
  • Includes a 15-pin FFC cable with opposite sides contact for reliable connection.

Applications

  • Edge AI and computer vision projects on NVIDIA Jetson Nano.
  • Face recognition and people counting systems for smart security.
  • Road mark and lane detection for autonomous robotics.
  • License plate recognition (ANPR) and traffic monitoring.
  • Wide-angle surveillance and environmental monitoring with Raspberry Pi Compute Module.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera module compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi boards?

No, this module is not directly compatible with standard Raspberry Pi models like the Pi 4 or Pi Zero. It is designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM3/CM3+) when used with a compatible carrier board like the Compute Module IO Board. For standard Pis, you would need a different camera module with a standard Raspberry Pi Camera Serial Interface (CSI) connector.

How do I connect and enable this camera on my NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit?

Power off your Jetson Nano. Locate the MIPI CSI-2 camera connector on the carrier board. Connect the included 15-pin FFC cable to the camera module, ensuring the contacts align correctly. Connect the other end to the Jetson Nano's CSI port. Power on the board and use NVIDIA's JetPack SDK and tools like GStreamer or the `nvarguscamerasrc` plugin to access the video stream. You may need to configure the device tree for the IMX219 sensor.

What software libraries or SDKs are recommended for using this camera?

On the Jetson Nano, use the NVIDIA JetPack SDK with its built-in multimedia APIs. For computer vision, OpenCV compiled with GStreamer support is standard. For Raspberry Pi Compute Module systems, the standard Raspberry Pi OS camera stack (`libcamera` or legacy `raspistill`/`raspivid`) can be used, though driver configuration for the IMX219 on the CM platform may be required. Python and C++ are both supported.

What is the power requirement for this IMX219-200 camera module?

The module requires a 3.3V DC power supply, which is typically provided directly through the 15-pin FFC cable from the host board (Jetson Nano or CM carrier board). Ensure your host board can deliver sufficient current on its camera interface power rail. The module's low power draw makes it suitable for battery-powered edge devices and mobile robots.

Can the fixed-focus lens on this module be adjusted or replaced?

No, the lens on the IMX219-200 module is fixed-focus and not user-adjustable. It is factory-set for a focal length of 0.087 cm (approx. 0.87mm) to provide a deep depth of field suitable for its wide 200-degree FOV. The lens assembly is also not designed to be replaced, as it is integrated and calibrated with the sensor. For different focal lengths, you would need a different camera module variant.
