The IMX378-79 Camera Module is a cutting-edge imaging solution designed to deliver exceptional performance in industrial applications. Built with the Sony IMX378 photosensitive chip, it offers ultra-high 12.3MP resolution (4056x3040) and a precise 79° field of view, ensuring crystal-clear imaging. The module is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi single board computers (Raspberry Pi 5 / Raspberry Pi 4 / Raspberry Pi Zero) and comes with two FPC cables for seamless connectivity, eliminating the need for additional accessories.
Seamless Raspberry Pi Integration
The camera's MIPI-CSI-2Lane interface ensures efficient data transmission, while its plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi series boards simplifies deployment. Included FPC cables further enhance usability, streamlining the setup process for projects of all sizes.

How to Choose IMX378 12.3MP Camera Module
The IMX378 camera module is available in two versions: 79° field of view (FOV) and 190° FOV (this one). The 79° FOV version offers a narrower, more focused field of view, making it ideal for applications requiring precision and detail, such as industrial automation, object recognition, and close-range inspections. The 190° FOV wide-angle version, designed for broader area capture, is perfect for security surveillance, smart home monitoring, autonomous robots, and large-scale visual inspections. Its wider field of view allows for fewer cameras to cover larger spaces, reducing blind spots in monitoring systems.
