ArduCAM 8MP CS Pi Cam

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 8MP CS Pi Cam is an add-on for the official Raspberry Pi camera. It is designed to meet the requirements of various lens mounts, field of view (FOV), depth of field (DOF) and motorized IR cut filters. The Raspberry Pi compatible camera is based on the same Sony IMX219 image sensor. Static images can be captured at 3280 x 2464 pixels. In addition, videos with 1080p30, 720p60 and 640 x 480p90 are supported. It is connected to the Pi via the special standard CSI interface.
