Wide field of view is one of the main strengths of this camera module. The onboard 95.5 lens provides a broad viewing range for embedded camera and AI applications.

High SNR and low-light performance help the IMX415 camera maintain image quality in more challenging lighting conditions.

Multiple motherboard support is another key advantage. The official connection references cover Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4B, Zero 2 W, Zero W, and Luckfox Omni3576.

For Raspberry Pi 4B and Raspberry Pi 3 series, an extra FPC cable is required according to the official connection guidance. Boards and extra accessories shown in the reference images are not included unless listed in the package content.
