Datasheet

The Spy Camera for Raspberry Pi is smaller than a thumbnail, about the

size of a cell phone camera - the module being just 8.5mm x 11.3mm

- and has a stick-on back so it's easy to mount.

The camera comes with a 289mm (11.4") long cable so you can extend

and mount your Pi away from the camera. Like the Raspberry Pi Camera

Board, it attaches to your Raspberry Pi by way of one of the two small

sockets on the board upper surface. This interface uses the dedicated

CSI interface, which was designed especially for interfacing to cameras.

The CSI bus is capable of extremely high data rates, and it exclusively

carries pixel data.

The camera is connected to the BCM2835 processor on the Pi via the CSI bus, a higher bandwidth link which carries pixel data from the camera back to the processor. This bus travels along the ribbon cable that attaches the camera board to the Pi. The ribbon cables is not compatible with the Pi Zero. The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixels, and has a fixed focus lens on-board.
