Overview

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 series is the high-performance camera series released by Raspberry Pi Official in 2023. Arducam has designed a Fixed-Focus camera variant based on the Official Wide-Angle Camera Module 3. The camera adopts Sony's 11.9MP IMX708 Image Sensor, which can be used to take full HD video as well as still photographs, and features an HDR mode of up to 3 megapixels. It is equipped with a 120 Degree Wide-Angle Fixed Focus Lens and an integrated IR-cut filter, which is more stable and faster when focusing compared with the Autofocus Lens, especially for the wide range projects. It is fully supported by the libcamera and Picamera2 libraries. Arducam is committed to creating diverse and convenient camera solutions. Also, we designed various accessories for the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3. Among them, are Camera Extension solution, Quad-Vision stereo camera kit, UVC USB camera solution, and upcoming FPD-Link solution, etc. For details, please refer to our official website www.arducam.com
