What is it?

Introducing the 5MP GS Pi Camera, a premium camera add-on for your Raspberry Pi projects. Designed to seamlessly integrate with Raspberry Pi boards 3B and above, this global shutter camera captures stunning 5-megapixel color images, ensuring crystal-clear visuals every time.

Perfect for capturing dynamic scenes, the global shutter sensor excels at freezing fast-moving objects, making it ideal for applications like tracking drones. Our custom decoders take advantage of all hardware optimizations, delivering smooth 30 fps RGB video with near-zero CPU usage, allowing your Raspberry Pi to dedicate more resources to other tasks.

For precise control, the motorized focus can be easily adjusted via a simple script or I2C command. In the future, we’re excited to integrate the camera with libcamera, unlocking advanced features like autofocus to enhance its imaging capabilities further.

Don’t Miss a Thing

The Waves Vision GS Pi Camera, with its advanced global shutter technology, opens up a world of possibilities for capturing high-quality images and videos in dynamic and fast-paced environments. Here are some exciting use cases where the global shutter feature truly shines:

High-Speed Photography

Capture sharp, distortion-free images of fast-moving objects, such as race cars or wild animals. The global shutter ensures that every detail is frozen in time and blur-free, providing crisp and clear results.

Drone Photography and Videography:

Mount the camera on a fast-moving drone and enjoy clear footage, even during quick maneuvers—with zero rolling shutter "jello" effect. Scientific Research

Capture high-speed phenomena, such as explosions or animal behavior, with the precision and clarity only a global shutter can provide. This makes it an invaluable tool for scientific applications.

Sports and Action Photography

Freeze action in sports without the skewing effects of rolling shutters. Whether analyzing the perfect golf swing or the intensity of a football match, the global shutter delivers sharp and undistorted images.
