Raspberry Pi AI Camera – IMX500 12MP Intelligent Vision Sensor

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera is an intelligent camera module designed for embedded AI vision applications. It is based on the Sony IMX500 12MP intelligent vision sensor, which integrates on-sensor AI inferencing to reduce system load and latency. The module includes a preloaded MobileNet model for object detection and classification tasks. It features a wide 76° field of view with a manually adjustable focus lens for flexible imaging scenarios. Supplied FPC cables enable direct compatibility with Raspberry Pi boards, supporting rapid integration in vision, automation, and educational AI projects.
