Wide-Angle Camera for Raspberry Pi
The Arducam module uses a 12-megapixel IMX708 sensor with a 120-degree diagonal field of view. It connects directly to a Raspberry Pi board via the standard camera interface. Makers and developers can use it for projects that need a broad perspective such as robotics vision or room monitoring.
Fits Pi builds with CSI slot
The board plugs into the Camera Serial Interface on any compatible Raspberry Pi model. No extra power adapter or HAT is required because the module draws power through the ribbon cable. This leaves the GPIO header free for other sensors, displays or motor controllers in the same project.
Autofocus and HDR included
Phase-detection autofocus locks onto subjects quickly, reducing blur when objects move across the wide frame. The built-in HDR mode merges multiple exposures at up to 3-megapixel output to balance highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes. An infrared cut filter keeps colours accurate under daylight or indoor lighting.

Questions about this item
What limits the continuous recording time of the IMX708 sensor?
The sensor itself does not impose a recording-time limit; duration depends on the Raspberry Pi board, storage capacity, and thermal conditions of the host system.
How much power does the camera module draw during all-day operation?
The module draws power from the Raspberry Pi CSI connector and typically consumes less than 1 watt, adding minimal heat to the board.
Which Raspberry Pi models have the CSI connector required by this camera?
Any Raspberry Pi board with a standard 15-pin CSI camera port — including Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi 5 — can connect the module directly.
