IMX378-190 12.3MP Wide-Angle Camera Module for Raspberry Pi 4B / 5 (4056x3040 Resolution, FOV190°)

IMX378-190 12.3MP Raspberry Pi Camera Module delivers high‑definition imaging designed for panoramic capture and wide‑area visual monitoring. Built around the Sony IMX378 photosensitive chip, this compact vision module provides 12.3‑megapixel performance with a maximum resolution of 4056×3040 for detailed image acquisition. A 190° wide‑angle fisheye lens enables expansive scene coverage while maintaining strong clarity across the frame. Direct compatibility with Raspberry Pi single‑board computers—including Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry Pi 5—allows rapid deployment in robotics vision, surveillance nodes, and immersive imaging systems. Two included FPC cables simplify integration without requiring additional accessories.

High‑Resolution Sony IMX378 Image Sensor

Equipped with the Sony IMX378 sensor, this high‑resolution imaging board captures detailed 12.3‑megapixel photographs at 4056×3040 resolution. A 1/2.3‑inch CMOS format combined with 1.55μm pixel size supports excellent light sensitivity and fine detail reproduction across large scenes. Such imaging performance benefits applications requiring precision visual data, including robotics navigation, AI vision development, and panoramic imaging experiments. The fixed‑focus optical system ensures stable capture without mechanical complexity, making this camera module well suited for embedded vision systems and long‑term monitoring installations.

190° Ultra‑Wide Fisheye Field of View

A 190‑degree fisheye lens dramatically expands scene coverage, enabling a single wide‑angle imaging unit to monitor large environments that normally require multiple cameras. The M12 lens design delivers panoramic capture ideal for immersive imaging, spatial mapping, and wide‑area observation systems. Such broad visual coverage supports robotics perception, security monitoring, and experimental 360‑degree camera projects. Reduced camera count lowers hardware complexity while simplifying installation in distributed sensing environments or compact embedded platforms.
