Arducam Pivariety is a Raspberry Pi camera solution to take the advantage of using its hardware ISP functions. Using Arducam Pivariety camera modules, users can get better performance and a wider variety of camera, lens options. For a long time, Raspberry Pi users are limited to use the closed-source official supported camera driver and camera modules (V1/V2/HQ). Now Arducam made it possible to provide well-tuned ISP for Pivariety camera modules with Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Lens Shading Correction, etc.

• 18MP AR1820HS color sensor, up to 4986 x 3684@6fps.
• Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance.
• Gstreamer support.
• Upcoming V4L2 support(Although V4L2 interface is supported, only RAW format images can be obtained, without ISP support).
• Compatible with all libcamera-based apps maintained by the RPi foundation.
