Joy-IT RPI WWCAM - Raspberry Pi Camera Module 5MP 160° Wide Angle - CSI Interface

The Joy-IT RPI WWCAM is a high-performance camera module designed specifically for Raspberry Pi. Featuring a 5MP OV5647 CMOS sensor with a 160° wide-angle lens, it delivers crisp still images at 2592x1944 resolution and smooth video at 1080p 30fps. The camera connects via the CSI interface, ensuring low-latency data transfer. Its IR-sensitive design (no IR cut filter) makes it ideal for night vision applications when paired with IR LEDs. The included FFC cable simplifies installation. Whether for surveillance, time-lapse, or robotics, this camera offers excellent value and versatility.

Advantages

High-resolution 5MP sensor for detailed images; ultra-wide 160° field of view captures more scene; IR-sensitive for low-light and night vision; plug-and-play compatibility with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a CSI port; compact and lightweight design.
