About this item

The Arducam IMX219 Auto Focus Camera Module is a drop-in replacement for the official Raspberry Pi V2 camera and is fully compatible with NVIDIA Jetson Nano and other Jetson platforms. Built around the Sony IMX219 8MP image sensor, it offers high-resolution imaging at 3280×2464 for stills and supports full HD video modes. Its standout feature is a motorized auto focus lens, which can be controlled via software or through manual commands, allowing users to achieve sharp focus across varying distances without physically adjusting the lens. This module retains the original form factor and CSI interface of the Raspberry Pi V2 camera, ensuring seamless integration with existing Pi and Jetson camera drivers. It supports dynamic focus adjustment, making it ideal for applications like object tracking, face recognition, robotics, drones, and surveillance systems. The camera connects via a standard MIPI CSI-2 interface and draws approximately 300 mA during operation. While it is plug-and-play on most systems, software control scripts are provided to fine-tune the auto focus function. This module is especially valuable for developers seeking better image clarity and adaptability without changing their camera mounting or software environment.
