Arducam Camera unit MBS-SES-185-09

The ArduCAM team has released a number of camera modules for the Raspberry Pi, including 5MP and 8MP modules. They are fully compatible with the official version and are divided into standard version, optimized optical power version, miniature spy camera version, noir version, motorized IR cut version and programmable motorized focus camera version. These camera modules support all Raspberry Pi models and require a 15-to-22-pin cable or an adapter to work with the Pi Zero. The ArduCAM 5MP wide-angle Spy Camera 160deg is another spy camera module fully compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero and Pi computer modules. This module has a 1/4 inch OV5647 sensor in a fixed focus lens with a viewing angle of 160°. In addition, an IR-filter is integrated. The board is very small and measures 60mm x 11.5mm. The neck width of the module is 6mm. As such, it is very well suitable for endoscope, spy surveillance and other applications, in which the picture quality and the size play an important role. It is connected to the Raspberry Pi Zero via a short ribbon cable. The camera is connected to the BCM2835 processor via the CSI bus. This connection has a higher bandwidth and only transfers pixel data from the camera to the processor, and is also designed for extremely high data rates. The bus runs along the ribbon cable which connects the camera board to the Pi Zero. The sensor has a native resolution of 5MP and a fixed focus lens. Static images can be captured with 2592 x 1944 pixels and videos with 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480 p60/90. The camera module is connected to the Raspberry Pi Zero via the small sockets on the top of the board.
