The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is a 12-megapixel, high-sensitivity camera designed for use with Raspberry Pi. It features robust aluminium M12 lens mounting hardware, offering an upgraded alternative to the previous Camera Module v2 with enhanced resolution and improved low-light performance, thanks to approximately 50% larger pixels.

This camera is ideal for projects requiring detailed imaging, such as security cameras, or those needing specialized lenses, such as wildlife or astrophotography. It works natively with a range of M12/S-mount lenses commonly used in industrial applications, and also comes with an integrated tripod mount.

The HQ Camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models*.
