5MP 62° Camera for Raspberry Pi

The Freenove FNK0056 is a 5-megapixel camera module that connects directly to the native camera port on Raspberry Pi boards. It captures still images at 2592 x 1944 pixels and records video at 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps. An adjustable holder lets you set the viewing angle precisely for your project. The 62° field of view suits general-purpose monitoring and robotics vision tasks.

Upgrade from basic webcams or fixed-focus modules

This module replaces USB webcams that consume a USB port and add latency. It also replaces fixed-focus camera boards that cannot be repositioned without remounting. The jump is worth it when you need direct CSI bandwidth for lower CPU overhead and a physical holder that lets you aim the lens without tools. It does not suit builds that require a wider field of view or global-shutter capture for fast motion.

Fits Pi boards with a CSI camera port

The ribbon cable plugs into the camera port on Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B+, 3B, 3A+, 2B, 1B+, 1A+, Zero 2 W, Zero W and Zero. It does not fit the Raspberry Pi 500 or 400, which only accept USB cameras. No extra drivers are needed beyond the standard libcamera stack. The adjustable holder frees you from designing a custom mount or bracket for the sensor board.

Questions about this item

What Raspberry Pi boards does the FNK0056 camera module connect to?

The module uses the standard camera port on Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, 3B+, 3B, 3A+, 2B, 1B+, 1A+, Zero 2 W, Zero W and Zero. It does not fit Pi 500 or 400, which only accept USB cameras.

Which step do people miss when installing the FNK0056 on a Raspberry Pi?

After plugging the ribbon cable into the camera port, you must enable the camera interface in raspi-config and reboot; the module will not be detected until that software step is done.

When should the ribbon cable supplied with the FNK0056 be replaced?

Replace the cable if the connectors become loose, the insulation shows cracks, or the camera feed drops out when the adjustable holder is moved.
