Raspberry Pi Wide Angle Camera Module benefits from Fisheye Lens to achieve 160 angle of view, whereas normal cameras are typically 72 degrees. This camera supports all the versions of Raspberry Pi. Its distance, resolution, and other parameters are adjustable and there are 4 screw holes on the module, a popular option for large spaces, widely used in large landscape surveillance.

The Fisheye Len, as the main part of this camera module, is producing visual distortion, projecting a characteristic convex appearance, displayed on the hemispherical screens. That is, it offers a much wider angle of view capturing function to the Raspberry Pi compared to the Rectilinear Len.

The camera module provides adjustable functions where you can control the Raspberry Pi to change its focus distance, resolution, white balance, brightness and sharpness. Meanwhile, there are 4 screw holes on the module. Utilizing these fine features, this camera module can be placed on the top of the wall to surveil any unusual activity or movement on the property.

If you are not looking for large landscape photography, and want to capture something specific or highly detailed, we recommend other cameras, for example:

• Official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2
• Raspberry Pi High-Quality Camera – 12.3 Megapixel (Sony IMX477)
• IMX219 M12/CS mount CMOS Camera Module

Q&A

What should I care when I connect it with Raspberry Pi?

The connectors of the DSI interface (for display) and the CSI interface (for camera) look the same, please take care of it when you connect the camera.

How can I adjust the focal length?

You can refer to the wiki here to adjust the camera, which also provides additional functions about the camera.
