Official Raspberry Pi AI Camera – 12.3 MP Sony IMX500 Intelligent Vision Sensor with On‑Board AI Inference, Manual Focus, 76° Field of View & 200 mm Ribbon Cable – Compatible with Raspberry Pi Boards

The Official Raspberry Pi AI Camera redefines how you build intelligent vision systems on Raspberry Pi computers. Featuring the 12.3 megapixel Sony IMX500 intelligent vision sensor, this cutting‑edge camera module doesn’t just capture high‑quality images — it also includes an integrated low‑power AI inference engine that lets you run neural network models directly on the hardware. This means object detection, classification, and other computer vision tasks can be processed at the edge without straining your Raspberry Pi’s main CPU — ideal for efficient real‑time smart vision applications. The sensor outputs rich visual data at resolutions up to 4056 × 3040 pixels and supports 2×2 binned 2028 × 1520 video at 30 fps, letting you adapt the capture format based on project needs. Its ~76° field of view and manual focus control make it versatile for a variety of use cases — from robotics navigation and automated retail analytics to home security systems and machine learning experimentation. Designed to work seamlessly with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, this AI camera plug‑and‑play connects via the standard CSI interface using the supplied 200 mm ribbon cable. Software libraries like libcamera, Picamera2, and support in tools like rpicam‑apps make it easy to get started with both imaging and AI tasks. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore AI vision or an expert building advanced machine vision solutions, the Raspberry Pi AI Camera packs powerful capabilities in a compact, easy‑to‑use package.
