Arducam Multi Camera Adapter Module V2.2 for Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, Compatible with Rasperry Pi Camera Module 3/V2/V1, and 12MP IMX477 Cameras

Description

Compared to the previous multi-camera adapter module which can only support 5MP RPI cameras, the new multi-camera adapter module V2.2 is designed for connecting maximum four 5MP, 8MP and 12MP camera to a single CSI camera port on a Raspberry Pi board. Considering that the high-speed CSI camera MIPI signal integrity is sensitive to a long cable connection, this adapter board does not support stacking and can only connect 4 cameras at maximum. Because It covers most of the use cases like 360-degree view photography and surveillance, adding more cameras will degrading the camera performance.
The previous model work with Raspbian 9.8 and backward, and does NOT work with Raspbian 9.9 and onward, so this model is out to tackle this issue.
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 at your own risk.
