Arducam Multi Camera Adapter Doubleplexer Stereo Module V2 for Raspberry Pi CameraV3, Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi4/3B+/3

Item Description:

This multi-camera adapter board is designed for Raspberry pi ZERO and let you connect two 5MP or 8MP or 12MP cameras to Pi Zero.

Only one of the two cameras can be activated at a time, and they are working in alternate ways. It cannot run two cameras at the same time, but we build a simple software which can run two cameras and make it looks like working at the same time.
But the drawback is the frame rate, and resolution will be fairly low, may be useful for surveillance.
Please note that Raspberry Pi multi-camera adapter board is a nascent product that may have some stability issues and limitations because of the cable’s signal integrity and RPi's closed source video core libraries, so use it on your own risk. This version supports 8MP Pi camera board. And it also can be used for other Raspberry Pi boards with minor software modifications.

Application：

• IoT cameras
• Robot cameras
• Wildlife cameras
• 3D scanner, multi camera sync solution, etc.

⚠️ Raspberry Pi Touch Display (DSI interface) Compatibility Issues:

When you use a DSI display together with this adapter, you will encounter the issue of I2C conflicts. We recommend you use HDMI displays or run headless when using this adapter.

⚠️ Camera Module Compatibility

The Arducam Multi-camera adapters ONLY support 3 kinds of camera modules by default:

• 5MP OV5647 (V1.3)

• 12MP IMX477 (HQ)
• 12MP IMX708(Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3)

ALL other MIPI camera modules intended to be used with Arducam multi-camera adapters needs extra customization. Extra fees may occur.

⚠️ Resolution and Framerate Compatibility

If you need the cameras to run at a certain resolution or framerates, please request customization. Extra fees may occur.
