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 package now includes two different FPC cables for use with different boards, including Pi 5 and Zero!
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 5, 4, Pi 3/3B+/3A+/2/Zero
Compatible w/ all libcamera-based apps maintained by the RPi foundation, such as Gstreamer, OpenCV etc
