The Raspberry Pi Bulk board camera module is single channel, 8 megapixels and supports CSI-2 bus interface. It has a maximum frame rate capture of 30fps. This high definition (HD) camera board connects to any Raspberry Pi or compute module, allowing you to create HD videos and still photographs. It utilises the IMX219PQ image sensor from Sony, which offers high-speed video imaging and high sensitivity. It also offers reduced image contamination such as fixed pattern noise and smearing. To connect the camera module to pi, a 15cm ribbon cable is attached to the module slots straight into your Pi Camera Serial Interface port (CSI). Once connected, we can access the camera board via the Multi-Media Abstraction Layer (MMAL) or the Video for Linux (V4L) APIs.
