Description

This Camera Module benefits from Fisheye Lens to achieve 160 Field of View, whereas normal cameras are typically 72 degrees. It utilizes the OV5647 sensor to reach 2592 x 1922 active array size and it can also support IR Fill Light for extended night visual scenarios. The module supports Raspberry Pi 3B+4B. You can adjust its focal length and mount it on the wall with 4 screw holes. It is suitable for large-space camera shooting and perfect for high-quality large landscape surveillance.

As one important part of this camera module, the Fisheye Len produces visual distortion, projecting a characteristic convex appearance, displayed on the hemispherical screens. That is, it offers a much wider field of view capturing function to the Raspberry Pi compared to the Rectilinear Len.

The main function of a Fill Light is to provide auxiliary light when shooting under the condition of lack of light, so as to obtain reasonable picture materials. The camera module supports IR (Infrared Radiation) Fill Light and it provides a clearer night vision image. It also comes with adjustable focus length and on-module 4 screw holes, which can be placed on the top of the wall, helping you to surveil any unusual activity or movement on your property.

Please note that the OV5647-160 FOV Camera module support IR but needs to get an external IR (infrared)camera.

If you want to capture more specific or higher vision detail, we recommend other cameras, for example:

• Raspberry Pi High-Quality Camera – 12.3 Megapixel
• M12/CS mount IMX 219 CMOS Camera Module - 8 Megapixel

Application

• Night Surveillance
• Large Landscape Camera Shooting
