NVIDIA Jetson Nano Camera IMX219-77 – 8MP

One of the most exciting things available to modern hobbyist electronics is artificial intelligence. Any Makers interested in such projects love to integrate camera modules into this technology to really see what it’s capable of achieving with facial recognition and other AI features. Cameras can also be highly beneficial for simple monitoring or recording in applications like gate access systems, alarm systems or even for remote 3D Printer viewing. This multifunctional style makes Cameras quite valuable in the hobbyist realm. The NVIDIA Jetson Nano Camera IMX219-77 offers higher quality than most with 8MP resolution and Jetson Nano compatibility.

The IMX219-77 Camera is a specialised module that connects to your compute module with a 15-pin FFC ribbon cable. The Sony IMX219 image sensor offers 8MP resolution which is a better quality than many hobbyist camera modules, other than the IMX477 module we also stock. A wide field of view of 200 degrees and 1/4 inch lens size makes this a small but handy camera module. This is all complemented perfectly with support for both the NVIDIA Jetson Nano development platforms as well as the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3) Boards, with just a simple ribbon cable and some drivers required to get up and running and capturing great quality images with ease.
