About this item

The Arducam 5MP OV5647 160° Wide Angle Camera is a versatile and compact camera module tailored for the Raspberry Pi platform, offering wide-angle imaging with excellent clarity. Built around the reliable OmniVision OV5647 sensor, this module captures 5-megapixel still images (2592 × 1944 resolution) and supports full 1080p video recording at 30fps. What sets this version apart is its ultra-wide 160-degree field of view, made possible by a custom wide-angle lens that significantly expands scene coverage compared to the standard Raspberry Pi camera. This camera is ideal for applications like home security, robotics, panoramic imaging, wildlife observation, and computer vision tasks, where a broader field of view provides significant advantages. Its fixed-focus lens ensures sharp imagery at medium-to-infinite distances without needing manual adjustment. The module connects via the 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 interface, making it compatible with most Raspberry Pi boards, including Pi 4, 3B+, 3, Zero, and Compute Modules. Its lightweight and compact form factor allows for easy integration into tight or portable enclosures. Whether you're working on AI vision projects or general-purpose video capture, this wide-angle camera delivers high performance with reliable Raspberry Pi compatibility.
