Camera modules and accessories for Raspberry Pi and microcontroller projects, plus Wi-Fi cameras for home monitoring. Choose from the official Raspberry Pi camera range, specialist night vision and thermal cameras, and Sonoff smart home cameras.
Raspberry Pi cameras
Raspberry Pi's camera modules connect directly to a Raspberry Pi and cover everything from everyday photography and video to machine vision and on-camera AI.
- Camera Module 3 is a great general-purpose choice, with autofocus and HDR for photos, video and computer vision projects. It's available with standard or wide-angle lenses, plus NoIR versions without an infrared filter for use with IR illumination.
- High Quality Camera is made for projects where you want more control over the optics. It uses interchangeable M12 lenses, letting you choose the field of view to suit your project.
- Global Shutter Camera captures the whole frame at once, avoiding the distortion that rolling shutters can produce with fast-moving subjects. It's particularly useful for machine vision, robotics and motion tracking.
- AI Camera uses Sony's IMX500 intelligent vision sensor to run neural network models directly on the camera, reducing the amount of image processing your Raspberry Pi needs to do.
There are also more specialised options, including a compact camera module for Raspberry Pi Zero and a night vision camera for low-light projects.
Thermal cameras
Thermal cameras measure heat rather than visible light, making them useful for spotting hot components, measuring temperatures and building thermal imaging projects. Our MLX90640 thermal camera breakout connects over I2C, so you can use it with Raspberry Pi, Pico and a wide range of other microcontrollers.
Smart home cameras
Sonoff Wi-Fi cameras are ready-made network cameras for monitoring rooms, entrances and other areas around your home. They work as part of Sonoff's connected ecosystem, alongside the switches, sensors and other devices in our smart home range.
Lenses, cables and mounts
It's worth checking which camera cable your Raspberry Pi needs before ordering. Raspberry Pi 5 and the Zero range use smaller camera connectors than earlier full-size Raspberry Pis, so you'll need a Pi 5 camera adapter cable or Zero camera cable respectively.
A microscope lens and stand can turn a Raspberry Pi camera into a handy bench microscope for inspecting boards and components, while a camera mount or flexible tripod helps keep everything pointing where it's supposed to.
