This Arducam 12MP Synchronized Stereo Camera Bundle Kit is capable of running two 12MP Camera Modules simultaneously through a single MIPI CSI-2 camera slot connection on the Jetson Nano and Jetson Xavier NX. It consists of two 12MP High-Quality camera modules and an Arducam stereo camera HAT. The stereo camera HAT is enabled by ArduChip to disguise the dual-camera connection as a single camera to be accepted by these single-board computers. You can use this bundle to build your stereo camera system for depth-related vision applications or upgrade your IMX219 stereo setup.
KERNEL CAMERA DRIVER USED
This camera relies on kernel drivers to work – one kernel version, one camera driver.
- Versions earlier than JetPack 4.3 (L4T 32.3.1) are not supported.
- Up or downgrading your OS leads to a kernel bump, and you’ll need to re-install a matching driver.
- Future JetPack/kernel updates require future drivers. When that happens, please allow us some time to process. And if you don’t see it released in time, kindly remind us.
Features:
- Work Natively with Jetson Nano and Jetson Xavier NX. NOTE: This bundle can’t work with Raspberry Pi, please check Raspberry Pi Version B0265R
- High Resolution: This bundle includes two high quality cameras, which adopts 1/2.3″ 12.3 Megapixel sensor for sharp image, max. still resolution 4056(H) x 3040(V). The cameras also come with two 6mm focal length CS-Mount lenses, which equipped with a manual focus ring and an adjustable aperture ring.
- Complete Synchronization: The frames of dual cameras of this module are synchronized at the hardware level, extra synchronization scheme by time stamping or so does not need to be considered.
- Variable Baseline Extension: Compared to the fixed stereo camera module, this stereo camera bundle has higher flexibility, which can be used with a variable baseline device and controlled through the computer control system to achieve rapid and dynamic interactive adjustment of the moving parts for human-like multi-degree-of-freedom stereo binocular vision.
- For the new version(R32 4.4), please refer to the following link: https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/tag/v0.0.2
Notes:
- Jetson Nano/Xavier NX and camera stands are not included in the package.
- A single camera module in the bundle kit does NOT work alone with Jetson. Its connection to the Camarray HAT is required.
- For the new version(R32 4.4), please refer to the following link: https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/tag/v0.0.2
- This camera can just be supported by Jetson Nano and Xavier NX at present, any other Jetson boards will not be supported.
- For NVIDIA JetsonL4t 35.x Jetpack5.x and above versions , you will need the latest CamArray Kit firmware (no earlier than the 2023.03.07 version) to access it.(otherwise you can only use them on previous JetPack versions).

IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE ARDUCAM CAMARRAY HAT:
NOTE 1:
Jetson Nano board is not included in the package.
NOTE 2:
A single camera module in the bundle kit does NOT work alone with the Jetson Nano. Its connection to the Camarray HAT is required.
NOTE 3:
Our camera module support 4-lane in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires extra customization. Here is why:
- Standard Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX can’t physically support a 4-lane connection (both of them only have 2-lane CSI connectors). Only the Raspberry Pi Compute Module and some 3rd party Jetson Carrier Boards come with 4-lane hardware support. Therefore, it’s not a general need.
- Extra works, specifically camera drivers, are required for a 4-lane connection other than the 4-lane physical connector. And the drivers are limited by the performances of the platform itself. For example, 4-lane can’t unlock 4k video on Raspberry Pi because the VideoCore does not currently support it. Jetson Nano is also to some extent limited because of the encoding capabilities. You need to make sure you really need it.
NOTE 4:
The Camarray HAT is not sold alone for the following reasons:
- Most of the cameras on the market are not designed for synched stereo uses. We’ve modified our camera modules specifically for the Camarry HAT. Your own V1, V2 or HQ camera modules won’t directly work with it.
- The Camarray HAT requires different firmware for different Image sensors that are not natively working with your embedded systems. Your own OV9281 and OV7251 camera modules won’t directly work with it, and they are not easily interchangeable.
Customization is required if you have extra requirements as the following:
- You need the camera module to run on other Video Modes and Frame Rates.
- You need to trigger the camera with an External Hardware trigger.
NOTE 5:
This kit is released for official Jetson Nano/Xavier NX boards by default, and it does not support other third-party boards.
NOTE 6:
Our main business is to assist customers in acquiring data from binocular cameras. Due to the extensive backend processing involved in depth vision, we regret that we cannot provide comprehensive operational guidance to cover all requirements. If you have relevant needs, you may refer to open-source demos for binocular cameras, such as those offered by NVIDIA.
NOTE 7:
This camera is released for the official NVIDIA Jetson Developer Kit, and it does not guarantee to support other third-party boards.
