Waveshare OV9281-120 Mono Camera for Raspberry Pi, Global Shutter, 1MP

global shutter 1280800 resolution OV9281 camera module is mainly designed for Raspberry Pi boards, and it can be connected directly to RPis CSI-2 camera interface without additional hardware. One adapter board can connect FOUR cameras on a single Raspberry Pi board, and includes support for the High-Quality Camera

The sensors global shutter and excellent low-light sensitivity allow it to be used for any application that needs gesture detection, head, and eye tracking, and depth and motion detection. With this capability, device manufacturers can implement a monochrome or NIR camera device and reduce memory use by using the Y8 stream format. A monochrome camera can serve as the underlying physical camera of a logical multi-camera device to achieve better low-light noise characteristics  The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 2 replaced the original Camera Module in April 2016. The v2 Camera Module has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera). The Camera Module 2 can be used to take high-definition video, as well as stills photographs.
