Small green PCB camera module with silver lens for Raspberry Pi Zero

AJMRTC

AJMRTC 5MP OV5647 Webcam for Raspberry Pi Zero

SKU CH-FENQ-W8YPG

A 5 MP OV5647 camera module for Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W records 1080P at 30 fps, 720P at 60 fps and 480P at 90 fps via a flexible 60 × 11.5 mm PCB that plugs straight into the CSI port

  • Sharp 5MP stills at 2592×1944 from OV5647 sensor
  • Smooth 1080P video at 30fps plus 720P@60fps and 480P@90fps
  • Ultra-compact 60×11.5mm flexible PCB fits tight spaces
  • Plug-and-play CSI connection to Pi Zero/Zero W with no drivers
  • F2.8 aperture 3.6mm lens suits security, IoT and DIY vision projects

Pi Zero CSI Camera

This 5MP OV5647 webcam connects directly to the Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W CSI port for plug-and-play imaging. It captures 2592×1944 still images and records 1080P video at 30fps, with 720P at 60fps and 480P at 90fps options. The F2.8 aperture and 3.6mm focal length suit close-range monitoring and computer vision tasks. No extra drivers are required for operation.

Passive Thermal Design

The module draws power from the Pi Zero CSI bus with no active cooling, so it adds negligible heat and zero acoustic noise to the host board. Its flexible PCB measures 60×11.5×5mm, allowing installation inside tight enclosures such as bird boxes or wearable housings without restricting airflow. Power consumption scales with the selected video mode and frame rate.

Upgrade From Basic Modules

Builders moving up from fixed-focus 2MP or VGA camera boards gain 5MP still resolution and selectable high-frame-rate modes for smoother motion capture. The flexible ribbon and compact footprint enable placements that rigid boards cannot accommodate, such as curved surfaces or narrow ducts. Projects needing global shutter, IR-cut switching, or resolutions above 5MP will require a different sensor class.

Questions about this item

How do I attach this camera to a Raspberry Pi Zero and which step is most often missed?

Insert the flex cable into the CSI port with the contacts facing the board edge, then press the plastic latch down firmly; the step most people skip is locking the latch, which leaves the connection loose and gives no image.

What part of this camera will eventually need replacement under normal use?

The flexible PCB ribbon can fatigue from repeated bending in tight enclosures, so plan to swap the whole module if the cable cracks or the connector pins oxidise.

What is the first limitation that appears during continuous 1080P@30fps recording?

The Pi Zero's CSI bandwidth and CPU encoding load become the bottleneck, causing dropped frames or thermal throttling before the OV5647 sensor itself reaches any internal limit.
