# 462x-CSI camera

# Overview

Low-light MIPI for Raspberry Pi & Jetson. The 462x-CSI-M12 outputs raw stream through a 4-lane CSI-2 connector while keeping the price and footprint tiny.

- IMX462 RGB or Mono sensor, M12/M12L or bare board
- 22-pin FFC (0.5mm) standard connector
- <1 W typical - perfect for edge-AI, night-vision robots
