What Raspberry Pi cameras are there?

Raspberry Pi uses a standard ribbon cable connector. This means that you can connect both official Raspberry Pi cameras, but also third-party cameras . The range of original Raspberry Pi cameras has expanded considerably in recent times. There are 4 variants of the new Camera module 3:

Camera Module 3
Camera Module 3 Wide
Camera Module 3 NoIR (night camera)
Camera Module 3 NoIR Wide (night camera)

There are 3 variants of the High Quality camera:

HQ Camera (C/CS mount)
HQ Camera M12
HQ Camera Global Shutter (C/CS mount)

Because the HQ Cameras use standard C/CS & M12 sizes you can use countless different lenses .

In addition to these original Raspberry Pi cameras, there are also other manufacturers who have developed cameras . For example, there are smaller Spy cameras available, but also advanced industrial cameras. When you are going to buy a camera for your Raspberry Pi it is important to know what requirements it must meet .

Using a Raspberry Pi Camera

Raspberry Pi 's with cameras is a powerful combination that offers many possibilities. Some examples of applications are making: security cameras, surveillance cameras, baby monitors and even drone cameras . You can also easily make timelapse videos & stop-motion animations.

To use a Raspberry Pi camera, it must be connected to the Raspberry Pi using the ribbon cable . This is usually included. In some cases, such as the Zero boards, you will need a custom cable. The camera can then be configured and controlled using the Raspberry Pi software.

Using the cameras, you can capture the images. Using software libraries such as OpenCV and Pygame, you can process the images. These libraries provide functions such as image recognition, face recognition, color detection and more. For standard photos and videos, you do not need libraries. This can be done with commands.

Raspberry Pi Camera Accessories & Supplies

There are many options for Raspberry Pi cameras. This also means that there are many different accessories and attachments available. For example, there are lenses, housings and accessories.

Lenses: The Raspberry Pi High Quality Cameras come without a lens as standard. This is done so that you can choose from a wide range of lenses. A common lens is a fisheye lens or a telephoto lens. When choosing the Camera and/or lens, make sure that they work together.

Cases: Some projects are so standard that complete cases have been developed for them. For example, there are cases for animal photography. These contain a Pi, camera and a sensor. But there are also simpler cases. Here you put the Pi and you only have a simple attachment for a camera. You can also buy a standard Raspberry Pi case for your camera. Make sure that there is a slot available for the ribbon cable.

Accessories: In addition to lenses and housings, there are also other useful accessories. For example, you can use a pan-tilt kit to move the camera. Or connect an LCD Display to monitor your security. When you film continuously, you need a lot of data storage. When you add a motion sensor to your project, you can also only film when there is movement .
