ArduCam PiNSIGHT is An AI Camera Board for the New Raspberry Pi 5

Arducam PiNSIGHT is a 12.3MP auto-focus enabled AI camera board designed to work with the new Raspberry Pi 5 module. It features a Luxonis OAK-SoM, enabling it to run local computer vision algorithms with a processing power of 4 TOPS.

The PiNSIGHT AI Mate is mounted beneath the Raspberry Pi 5 and connects through a standard USB-A to USB-C cable. It features a metal case that serves as a heat sink. The company claims this design effectively dissipates heat, potentially eliminating the need for an active cooler for the Raspberry Pi 5.

This camera is designed for the Raspberry Pi 4/5, offering a more compact AI vision solution. It supports various computer vision algorithms, such as face recognition, fatigue detection, object recognition, anomaly detection, and pose estimation.
