ArduCAM 5MP Spy camera

The ArduCAM team has released a series 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, Optimised Optical Performance Version, Miniature Spy Camera Version, NoIR Version, Motorised IR Cut Version and Programmable Motorised Focus Camera Version. These camera modules support all Raspberry Pi models and require a 15-to-22 pin cable or adapter to work with the Pi Zero.

The ArduCAM 5MP Spy Camera is a new spy camera module that is fully compatible with the official module. It is a high resolution video camera for Raspberry Pi model A/B/B+, Raspberry Pi 2/3/3B+/4.

The board is very small, 300mm x 16mm and the neck width is 6mm. Accordingly, it is perfect for applications such as for an endoscope, spy surveillance or others where size and image quality are important.

It is connected via a short ribbon cable. With the BCM2835/BCM2836 processor, the camera on the Pi is connected via the CSI bus. This is a higher bandwidth connection that transfers pixel data from the camera back to the processor.
