Arducam Pivariety is a camera solution for the Raspberry Pi which takes advantage of the Raspberry Pi hardware Image Signal Processor (ISP) functions. Using Arducam Pivariety camera modules, users can experience better performance and a wider variety of camera and lens options.
For a long time, Raspberry Pi users have been limited to closed-source official supported camera drivers. Now Arducam has made it possible to provide well-tuned ISP for Pivariety camera modules with Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Auto Gain Control, Lens Shading Correction and more!
This Pivariety module uses a Sony 1/2.8" STARVIS 2MP IMX462 sensor, assembled with a wide aperture M16 lens, which can achieve improved image quality compared to official camera options in low light conditions.
The module comes complete with a 150mm 15-pin to 22-pin (22-pin for the camera, 15-pin for your Pi) 0.5mm pitch FPC cable and acrylic case with fixings.
NOTE: Pivariety camera modules can only work with libcamera instead of the traditional raspistill application! These modules are intended for experienced users.
Features
Adopts an IMX462 low-light sensor
Supports hardware ISP functions such as AEC/AGC - improved image quality in low light conditions.
Shoot Image and Video: Still image resolution of 2MP 1920×1080; ISP output image format of JPG, YUV420, RAW, DNG; Adjustable frame rate, up to 60fps@1080P; ISP Output video Format of MJPEG, H.264.
Ultra Low-Light: IMX462 Colour CMOS sensor produces the camera capture the minimum illumination 0.01Lux, which gives you clearer visuals for low light and night vision
Lens: M16 lens mount, HFoV of 92deg, F/0.95 wide aperture ensures enough light can enter, which enhances the ultra-low light function
Compatibility: Supports Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 3/3B+/3A+, and other A & B models.
Compatible w/ all libcamera-based apps maintained by the RPi foundation, such as Gstreamer, OpenCV etc
