Description
The Raspberry Pi Camera Board V2 is a high-resolution camera module designed for Raspberry Pi projects that require clear photos and smooth Full HD video. Featuring a Sony IMX219 8MP image sensor, it can capture detailed still images at up to 3280 × 2464 pixels while supporting video recording at 1080p 30fps.
Its compact design and 15-pin MIPI CSI interface allow the camera to connect directly to compatible Raspberry Pi boards using the included 15cm ribbon cable. The fixed-focus lens makes it easy to set up for everyday applications, while its small size makes it suitable for projects where space is limited.
The Raspberry Pi Camera V2 is a versatile choice for home security cameras, wildlife monitoring, robotics, time-lapse photography, IoT projects, computer vision, and educational applications. It can also be used for slow-motion and other camera-based projects with compatible Raspberry Pi software and libraries.
