Waveshare Raspberry Pi Camera (I) Fisheye Lens Module
The Waveshare Raspberry Pi Camera (I) is a 5MP OV5647 sensor module with a 185-degree fisheye lens, designed for Raspberry Pi SBCs. It provides a wide-angle field of view for IoT computer vision, robotics, and surveillance applications, compatible with the Raspberry Pi Camera Serial Interface (CSI).
Features
- 5MP OV5647 sensor delivers 2592 x 1944 stills and 1080p30 video for clear, detailed imaging.
- 185-degree ultra-wide fisheye lens captures expansive scenes ideal for surveillance and monitoring.
- Direct Raspberry Pi CSI interface ensures plug-and-play compatibility with all Pi revisions.
- Compact, lightweight design at 17g integrates easily into space-constrained IoT and robotics projects.
- Low 3.3V operating voltage aligns with Raspberry Pi’s GPIO power specifications for simple system integration.

The Waveshare Raspberry Pi Camera (I) Fisheye Lens Module integrates a 5-megapixel OV5647 CMOS sensor with a fixed-focus, wide-angle optical assembly. Its 1/4-inch CCD size and F2.0 aperture are optimized for low-light performance, while the 1.55mm focal length produces a 185-degree horizontal field of view, significantly wider than standard 72-degree lenses. This makes it suitable for applications requiring expansive scene capture without multiple cameras.
The module connects via a 15-pin FFC (flat flexible cable) to the Raspberry Pi’s Camera Serial Interface (CSI), supporting both the legacy Raspicam driver and the newer libcamera stack. It operates at 3.3V, drawing minimal current for power-efficient always-on vision systems. The fixed-focus design simplifies integration, requiring no calibration for applications like fisheye distortion-based depth sensing, panoramic imaging, or wide-area motion detection in smart security and industrial IoT setups.
