Product Description (Detailed):

Unlock a world of visual possibilities for your embedded projects with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 5MP, featuring the reliable OmniVision OV5647 sensor. This original iteration of the official Raspberry Pi camera offers a cost-effective yet powerful solution for capturing high-quality images and video. Boasting a native resolution of 5 megapixels (2592 x 1944 pixels) for still photographs, it also supports versatile video modes including 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and even 640x480p at 90fps, making it ideal for motion analysis or high-speed capture. The module connects seamlessly via the dedicated CSI (Camera Serial Interface) port on all Raspberry Pi boards, from the original models to the Raspberry Pi 4 and even the compact Pi Zero, utilizing a 15-pin FFC cable. Its fixed-focus lens (typically 3.6mm focal length) provides a suitable field of view for a multitude of applications. With excellent integration with Raspbian OS and compatibility with powerful libraries like Picamera and OpenCV, this module is perfect for DIY surveillance systems, time-lapse photography, robotics vision, and various IoT camera projects. Leverage its compact size and low power consumption to add intelligent visual capabilities to your next innovative creation.

This 5MP Raspberry Pi Camera Module is a high-quality image sensor board based on the OmniVision OV5647 sensor, capable of capturing still images up to 2592×1944 pixels and video at 1080p30, 720p60, and VGA90.
