High-resolution Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly with 12 MP & HDR
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly offers developers and industry partners a compact and powerful camera solution. Equipped with the Sony IMX708 sensor, it delivers 12 megapixels , High Dynamic Range (HDR) , and Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) for clear images in a wide range of lighting conditions.
The modular, housing-less design is ideal for integration into OEM devices and saves space in the system setup. Thanks to full support for libcamera , Picamera2 , and the well-known rpicam apps, software integration is particularly easy.
The camera is available in four versions : standard or wide with 75° or 120° angles of view, respectively, each optionally available as a NoIR version for infrared applications. With a focus range of 5 cm to infinity (Wide) or 10 cm to infinity (Standard), it is versatile in applications ranging from quality control and automation to surveillance and embedded systems .
Important for long-term projects: The module is available at least until January 2030 , thus guaranteeing a high degree of planning security.
