Compared to the previous multi-camera adapter module which can only support 5MP RPI cameras, the new multi-camera adapter module V 2.2 is designed for connecting maximum four 5MP, 8MP and 12MP camera to a single CSI camera port on a Raspberry Pi board. Considering that the high-speed CSI camera MIPI signal integrity is sensitive to a long cable connection, this adapter board does not support stacking and can only connect 4 cameras at maximum. Because It covers most of the use cases like 360-degree view photography and surveillance, adding more cameras will degrading the camera performance.
The previous model work with Raspbian 9.8 and backward, and does NOT work with Raspbian 9.9 and onward, so this model is out to tackle this issue. Please note that Raspberry Pi multi-camera adapter board is a nascent product that may have some stability issues and limitations because of the cable's signal integrity and RPi's closed source video core libraries, so use it at your own risk. Features Accommodate 4 Raspberry Pi cameras on a single RPi board Support 5MP OV5647 or 8MP IMX219 camera, no mixing allowed 3 GPIOs required for multiplexing Cameras work in sequential, not simultaneously Low resolution, low frame rate video surveillance demo with 4 cameras High resolution still image photography demo
NOTE: Raspberry Pi Touch Display (DSI interface) Compatibility Issues When you use a DSI display together with this adapter, you will encounter the issue of I2C conflicts. We recommend you use HDMI displays or run headless when using this adapter.
