Description

The Waveshare Raspberry Pi Camera (M) integrates a 5-megapixel OV5647 CMOS sensor with a fixed fisheye lens, providing an extreme 200-degree horizontal field of view ideal for surveillance, robotics navigation, and immersive video capture. The module connects via a standard 15-pin FPC cable to the Raspberry Pi’s CSI-2 interface, supporting legacy Raspicam drivers and the newer libcamera software stack for flexible development.

With an F2.0 aperture and manually adjustable focus, the camera performs well in varied lighting conditions. Its compact form factor and support for common video modes like 1080p30 make it a versatile choice for makers and developers building wide-angle vision systems on the Raspberry Pi platform.

Key Features

  • 5MP OV5647 sensor for high-resolution still images and video.
  • Fixed fisheye lens with ultra-wide 200-degree horizontal field of view.
  • Manually adjustable focus for fine-tuning image clarity.
  • F2.0 aperture for improved performance in low-light environments.
  • Standard 15-pin FFC ribbon cable for connection to all Raspberry Pi models.
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy integration into projects.
  • Supports common video modes: 1080p30, 720p60, and 640x480p60/90.

Applications

  • Surveillance and security monitoring with panoramic view.
  • Robotics and drone navigation for obstacle detection.
  • Virtual reality (VR) and immersive video capture.
  • DIY dashcams and automotive vision systems.
  • Wide-angle monitoring for smart home automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye)?

Yes, but note the official driver changed from Raspicam to libcamera. While libcamera is the new standard, it currently has limited Python support. For projects requiring the older Raspicam stack on Bullseye, you can manually install it. The module is physically compatible with all Pi revisions via its CSI-2 port.

How do I adjust the focus on this fisheye camera module?

The lens barrel is manually adjustable. Gently rotate the lens to change the focus distance. It's best to do this while viewing a live feed on your Raspberry Pi to achieve optimal sharpness for your specific application and working distance.

What ribbon cable is included and how do I connect it to my Raspberry Pi?

A standard 15-pin FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) with contacts on opposite sides is included. Connect one end to the camera's ZIF connector and the other to the Raspberry Pi's CSI camera port, ensuring the cable's conductive traces face the correct orientation as per the Pi's port design.
