SPIDER Automation DFRobot IMX378-79 12.3MP Camera Module | Camera Module | For Industrial Automation & Precision Object Recognition
Description
SPIDER Automation DFRobot IMX378-79 Camera Module is an elite-tier imaging component designed for projects requiring exceptional visual accuracy and high-resolution output. Built around the renowned Sony IMX378 12.3-megapixel sensor, this module provides crystal-clear 4056 x 3040 image capture backed by a rolling shutter and large 1.55-micron pixels for superior light gathering.
Featuring a focused 79-degree field of view and an impressively low distortion rate of under 1.5%, it eliminates the wide-angle warping common in standard lenses, making it ideal for measurement and inspection tasks. Complete with an integrated infrared filter, a high-speed MIPI-CSI 2-lane data interface, and bundled FPC connection cables supporting Raspberry Pi 4, 5, and Zero variants, it offers professional reliability for custom embedded vision systems.
