Purpose-built vision module
This 8 MP camera uses the IMX219 sensor to deliver 3280 × 2464 stills and a 160 degree diagonal field of view. It targets developers building AI vision projects on Jetson Nano Developer Kit or Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 and 3+. The board measures 25 mm by 24 mm and includes four screw holes for secure mounting.
Sustained imaging behaviour
The F2.35 aperture and 3.15 mm focal length gather enough light for continuous inference tasks such as face recognition, road mark detection and licence plate recognition. Distortion stays below 14.3 percent across the wide angle, keeping geometry predictable during long capture sessions. A 3.3 V power output pin simplifies wiring when the module runs for extended periods.
Upgrade path and limits
The wide 160 degree view replaces narrower modules when situational awareness matters more than telephoto reach. Builders who need a standard CSI connector will find this compatible, while those requiring higher resolution, global shutter or a different lens mount should look elsewhere. The fixed focus and CMOS size suit embedded AI rather than general photography.

Questions about this item
Does the IMX219-160 camera generate much heat when recording 3280×2464 video all day?
The module draws 3.3 V and has no active cooling, so it stays cool during continuous 3280×2464 capture.
Which host board do I need to already own for this IMX219-160 module to work?
It connects to a Jetson Nano Developer Kit or a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 or 3+.
Will the 160° lens and 3.15 mm focal length vignette on an older Raspberry Pi Camera v1 board?
The 1/4-inch CMOS and 160° diagonal view are matched to the IMX219 sensor; older boards use a different sensor size.
