  • SEE CLOSER: Software-controllable moveable Lens. Shoot objects in millimeter level and in the distance on the same camera, remotely controlled without lens adjustment tool, closer and easier than the fixed focus (1 m to infinity) official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2
  • SEE SMARTER: Thanks to the motorized lens and the Autofocus python scripts powered by OpenCV, your focus is now the cameras focus. Support the autofocus features on Raspberry Pi 5/4/3B+/3 and more.
  • SEE PRECISELY: Precise manual focus control with UP and DOWN keys on the keyboard to handcraft your pixel accuracy and optimal clarity on a Pi camera for machine vision, object recognition and more
  • SEE NATURALLY: 5MP OV5647 sensor camera module, same form factor and same mounting holes for your drop-in replacements, works natively compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Support OS like Raspbian, MotionEye, Kali, Ubuntu, and More

Description

The official camera modules have fixed-focus lenses, which are either glued or need manual adjustment. However, Arducam thinks that your focus matters and has released this motorized focus camera for Raspberry Pi. This Arducam camera module is designed for you to control the focus on a camera for Raspberry Pi via software, so you can see closer and see where you want to see. APPLICATIONS

Better than the official Raspberry Pi V2 camera
I like this camera so much better than the official Raspberry Pi V2 camera! The white balance adjusts automatically (in contrast to the official V2, which has pinkish tint in many environments). There is focus control, but it requires some software (simple code that works over I2C). This is more convenient than mechanical control of the V2, which is not always possible to do if the camera is in a case. There is no autofocus, though, but it is fine for my application (OctoPi). And finally, it makes much more sense for the price. ... show more

Looks nice
UPDATE: Ummmmm.... yeah..... Turns out I had *TWO* bad cables on my Pis. Once I replaced those with the ones that came with the cams (too short for my purpose), they work just fine. And they focus too! I'll just keep the one I was gonna return. :) ORIGINAL (BAD) REVIEW: But I can't get my RPi 4 to detect it. The classic RPi camera is detected and works just fine. Tech support for ArduCAM is non-existent, and there's no response on ArduCAM forums for my question about what may be wrong. Again, vcgencmd detects the RPi camera, but not this ArduCAM. ANd I have three ArduCAMs currently but none are detected. I tried them on one RPi3 and two RPi 4s, running Raspbian Buster. Guess I'll end up returning them. ... show more

Adequate
For the price, decent. Don't expect anything fantastic though.

Nice camera and stand!
This seller was very nice and took care of my issue once one had arose! The camera works as described and the little stand is a nice touch once you figure out how to get it together! Just remember don't forget your ribbon cable if you are going to be using this with the Raspberry Pi 5!

Excellent. Easy to use.
This is excellent camera module. It was a bit tricky to assemble the camera stand, other than that it is working flawlessly. You can control the focus via i2c. There are samples on github.com. The camera is medium view. For my project i would have preferred a narrow-er view mode or ideally the ability to install M12 lens, but you cant have it all. The camera is standard Pi 5MP module, the only extra thing is the ability to adjust the focus via i2c bus. You can adjust the focus while raspivid is running. ... show more

Not sure to be honest
Couldnt get it to work. Just to clarify it wouldn't do what i hoped it would. Not sure if it was me or the camera but i was trying to use it for octopi to see my printing but it never loaded after hours of testing.

Great Picture
Camera has a great picture for only 5 MP. Hooked it up to a Raspberry PI 3 and with just a few lines of code in Python my face was filling the screen. Picture was clear and I could see very small details in the picture. Great camera for only $15 dollars. The only downside is it came with some small plastic pieces that I think are a stand but there were no instructions for them or nuts and bolts. I plan to use velcro to attach it to my monitor so the case issue was really a non issue. ... show more
