About this item

The Arducam 8MP IMX219 Ultra Wide Angle Camera Module is a high-quality imaging solution designed for the Raspberry Pi platform. Built around the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor—the same used in the official Raspberry Pi Camera V2—it provides crisp, high-resolution images and full HD video streaming capabilities. What sets this module apart is its integrated 175-degree ultra wide-angle lens, which delivers a significantly broader field of view than standard lenses. This makes it ideal for applications where scene coverage is critical, such as surveillance, drone navigation, panoramic imaging, smart mirrors, AI vision, and robotics. The lens comes pre-mounted and precisely aligned, offering sharp focus across the wide field without the need for adjustment. The module connects via the standard 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 interface and works out of the box with Raspberry Pi OS and camera software libraries like libcamera. Its compact size and compatibility with various Pi boards—including Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Pi 3/3B+, and Pi Zero 2W—make it suitable for embedded projects where space is limited, but wide-angle imaging is essential. Whether you're building a vision-enabled robot or capturing immersive footage, this camera module provides reliable ultra-wide image capture with high performance and clarity.
