Raspberry Pi AI Camera

The Raspberry Pi AI Camera brings intelligent vision to your projects with a 12.3MP Sony IMX500 sensor featuring an integrated neural network accelerator. Run AI models directly on the camera module itself, eliminating the need for complex setups or additional processing hardware.

Seamlessly integrated with Raspberry Pi's camera software stack, the AI Camera lets you deploy vision AI applications quickly. For larger-scale projects, Sony's AITRIOS platform and Local Studio tools help you label, train, and deploy custom AI models.
