WaveShare IMX219 160° Night-Vision Camera
This 8-megapixel module uses a Sony IMX219 sensor with a 160-degree diagonal field of view and a fixed 3.15 mm focal length. It delivers 3280 × 2464 resolution and provides a 3.3 V output for driving external infrared or fill-flash LEDs. The board measures 25 × 24 mm and includes four screw holes for secure mounting.
Suited for Jetson Nano and Pi CM3/3+ AI builds
Developers adding vision to NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit or Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3/3+ projects such as face recognition, road-mark detection or licence-plate recognition will find the wide angle and IR capability convenient. Builders who need a narrower field of view, a different sensor resolution, or a camera without IR support should consider other modules.
160-degree fixed wide-angle lens
The 160° diagonal angle of view with less than 14.3 % distortion is the single specification that determines whether this camera fits the scene coverage required by the application. If the project demands a tighter or wider perspective, a different lens module will be necessary.

Questions about this item
Which IMX219-160IR version should I pick for my Jetson Nano or Compute Module 3/3+?
This single 8MP module fits both the Jetson Nano Developer Kit and Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3/3+ without any alternative versions to choose from.
What does the 3280×2464 resolution mean when the camera is mounted on a Jetson Nano?
You get full 8MP stills and video frames at 3280×2464 pixels, fed directly to the Nano’s CSI port for AI tasks like face recognition or license-plate reading.
How does the CSI-2 interface limit the 160° field of view in practice?
The MIPI CSI-2 link carries the native 3280×2464 stream at 160° diagonal FOV; distortion stays below 14.3% and the lens aperture is fixed at f/2.35.
