This OV5647-160 FOV IR Camera Module features a Fisheye Lens to achieve an expansive 160° field of view. Utilizing the high-performance OV5647 sensor, it reaches a 2592 x 1944 active array size for high-definition imaging. Designed for versatility, it is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, and 4B. The module supports IR Fill Light for enhanced low-light performance and includes four on-module screw holes for secure mounting. With an adjustable 3.6mm focal length, it is the ideal choice for large-space photography and high-quality landscape surveillance.

Description
The OV5647-160 FOV Camera Module leverages a specialized Fisheye Lens to achieve a 160° Field of View, whereas standard cameras are typically limited to 72 degrees. It utilizes the industry-standard OV5647 sensor to deliver a 2592 x 1944 resolution. The module is fully optimized for Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4B, supporting IR Fill Light integration for superior night vision. Its adjustable focus and 4-hole mounting design make it perfect for wide-angle security and high-quality monitoring of expansive spaces.
As a critical component, the Fisheye Lens creates a characteristic convex distortion, allowing it to capture a significantly wider field of view compared to traditional Rectilinear Lenses. This makes it an essential tool for projects requiring a "big picture" perspective on a single sensor.
A Fill Light provides auxiliary illumination when shooting in dark conditions. This camera module supports Infrared Radiation (IR) Fill Light, ensuring a clearer night vision image without visible red glow (depending on the IR source). By placing the module at high vantage points using the 4 on-module screw holes, you can effectively monitor any unusual activity across your entire property.
Note: While the camera supports IR sensing, you must connect an external IR light source to achieve visibility in total darkness.
If you require even higher resolution or specific detail, we recommend these alternatives:
- Raspberry Pi High-Quality Camera – 12.3 Megapixel
- M12/CS mount IMX219 CMOS Camera – 8 Megapixel
Applications
- Night Surveillance & Security
- Large Landscape & Panoramic Shooting
