One touch can replace keys. This project uses an optical fingerprint sensor to enroll users and then grant access with a quick scan.
read tutorial →The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera with M12 Lens Mount brings professional-grade imaging to your Raspberry Pi projects. Featuring a 12.3-megapixel resolution and impressive low-light performance, this camera is perfect for applications that demand high visual fidelity. Whether you're building an industrial inspection system or a consumer photography setup, this camera offers versatility with its compatibility with interchangeable M12-mount lenses (lens not included), allowing you to customize your setup for various tasks.
With a Sony IMX477R sensor, this camera provides sharp, detailed images with a 7.9mm diagonal and a pixel size of 1.55 μm × 1.55 μm, making it suitable for capturing high-quality photos and videos. The camera comes with a 200mm flexible ribbon cable for easy connection to any Raspberry Pi model, and it's equipped with an integrated 1/4"-20 tripod mount, making it convenient for both stationary and mobile projects. Its adjustable back focus feature allows you to fine-tune the lens positioning for the clearest possible images, enhancing its utility for various applications.
For those looking to explore advanced photography or integrate high-resolution imaging into their projects, this camera is a great choice. While it requires an M12 lens that is sold separately, this flexibility allows you to choose the lens that best fits your needs. If you need a lens or a different mount type, other options are available, such as the ready-to-go wide-angle Camera 3 or the High-Quality HQ Camera with a C Mount. The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models, making it a versatile and powerful addition to your toolkit.
Please note the M12 Lens is NOT included and must be purchased separately. This camera does not work with the 16mm Telephoto Lens or 3MP Wide-Angle Lens as they are not the right M12 type!
If you want a ready-to-go camera that does not require a separate lens, check out this wide-angle Camera 3. If you want a camera that supports C or CS lenses, check out the High Quality HQ Camera with C Mount here.
To use with a Pi Zero, you will need an adapter cable, which we stock here!
