Take pictures and shoot video with your Raspberry Pi.

Connecting the official High Quality Camera, Camera Module, or Global Shutter Camera turns your favourite credit-card-sized computer into a powerful digital camera. Learn how to set up and control the camera to capture stills and video footage.

Attaching a Camera Module to Raspberry Pi is a powerful way to expand its capabilities. With an image sensor attached, Raspberry Pi can capture high quality still images and record full HD video. Raspberry Pi Camera Modules are easy to attach to your computer with a ribbon cable. This book walks you through all the different types of Camera Module, and how to attach them to Raspberry Pi and integrate vision technology to your projects. The powerful rpicam apps and PiCamera2 Python library enable you to integrate Raspberry Pi Camera Module with your code. With the AI Kit attached to Raspberry Pi you can perform image recognition and other AI computing tasks.

In this book, you will discover how to attach a Camera Module to your Raspberry Pi, install the software, and code your own solutions. Our example projects explain how to perform image recognition, build time-lapse projects, wildlife camera traps, and live-stream video. You can find example code and other information about this book, including errata, in its GitHub repository.

Discover the numerous modes and effects available, and use the camera in a variety of exciting projects across the chapters in this book:
