Overview

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.

To learn more about autofocus with Raspberry Pi camera modules, we recommend you read Raspberry Pi Camera Autofocus: The Complete Guide.

Features:

• 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 camera’s focus. Support the autofocus features on Raspberry Pi 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, OctoPi, MotionEye, Kali, Ubuntu, and More
• Acrylic camera case and 15cm flex ribbon camera cable for Model A&B series included. Other Pi Camera software focus control solutions: Check autofocus drop-in replacement for 8MP, IMX135 MIPI camera for 13MP, IMX298 MIPI camera for 16MP. Contact Arducam for support and
