## Description

Full description not available

## Features

- Support all Raspberry Pi Models: Same interface, all-model support. Directly plugged into Raspberry Pi’s native high-speed MIPI CSI-2 port. Support Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 3/3B+/3A+, CM3/3+, Pi Zero and more. NOTE: Raspberry Pi motherboard is not included in the package.
- Higher Resolution than V2 cameras: 1/2.8” 16MP Sony IMX298 Pi camera module to break Raspberry Pi camera’s 8MP ceiling with double resolution and larger sensor
- Frame Rates: Capture video at 4672x3496/7fps, 1080p/55fps and 720p/120fps resolutions.
- Applications: Better for Raspberry Pi camera applications where higher resolutions are needed for capturing clearer images, such as advanced driver assistance (ADAS) and multimedia applications of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
- Disclaimer: Arducam MIPI cameras are for advanced users with a certain degree of development background. The RPI camera driver is not V4L2 compliance, and it can’t work with native Raspberry Pi camera drivers, commands, and software. You have to use Arducam SDK and examples.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Avoid this and get something that works
*by S***E on March 7, 2020*

There is a lack of driver support for this camera provided by the company. It's proprietary so there is no source code to fix it. This sensor is capable of getting about 30 fps at 4k resolution, but the best I've been able to get was about 1 frame per 10 seconds. Half of the example code on GitHub doesn't work for this board even though the company claims it does in their promotional media. I suspect either this sensor isn't what they advertise it as being or they bought out a lot of old camera chips used to making cell phones and just threw a board toghether without getting it to work. Avoid any chip/sensor where you can't get documentation for on how to actually use it from the manufacturer.

### ⭐ Not for the easily frustrated.
*by C***N on May 28, 2020*

Useless unless you're a programmer.
