This camera is based on SONY IMX296 Mono Global Shutter image sensor. Global shutter technology allows you to reduce or eliminate unwanted image artifacts, which occur with traditional rolling shutter image sensors as a result of motion during image capture. The camera is equipped with a 96°(dFOV) M12 Lens. A manual focus M12 camera allows you to apply it in situations such as macro photographs, low light conditions, etc. Meanwhile, this camera is native to Raspberry Pi and fully supported by libcamera and Picamera2 library. Arducam is committed to creating diverse and convenient camera solutions for embedded camera users. We are not only engaged in the production and development of optical products, but also strive to provide complete solutions for Embedded cameras, Evaluation kit, Optical components, etc.

Applications

• Home Security System
• Wildlife Photography
• Unattended surveillance
• Industrial Vision/Machine Vision
• Automation, AI Project, etc.

Features

• Global Shutter: Based on SONY IMX296 Mono Global Shutter Image Sensor. The sensor is a CMOS active pixel type solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array and 1.58 M effective pixels.
• M12 Lens: Armed with a 96° (dFOV) M12 Lens with low distortion.
• Manual Focus: Manual Focus cameras are always more suitable in some special conditions. For example, in low-light and macro photography environments, manual focus can obtain a complete overall contrast of pictures, thereby improving image quality and focus accuracy.
