Raspberry Pi AI Camera (Sony IMX500)

Order-to-ship. Dispatched within 3–5 business days from EU stock. Official Raspberry Pi product.

A camera module built around Sony's IMX500 intelligent vision sensor: a 12-megapixel image sensor with a neural-network accelerator on the same chip. Object detection, classification and pose estimation run on the camera itself, and the Raspberry Pi receives the results alongside the image. Because the inference happens in the sensor, it works on every Raspberry Pi with a camera connector, including Zero 2 W and Pi 4, not only Pi 5.

• Ships with pre-trained MobileNet-SSD models; supports custom models via Sony's conversion tools
• Supported by Raspberry Pi OS and the rpicam apps / Picamera2
• Includes both 15-pin and 22-pin ribbon cables
