## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, I love this camera but am trying to figure out:
is there any way to replace the ribbon cable with something that's longer?**
A: HI, the cable in this camera is 15cm. We have 30 cm cables available on Amazon, you can search by B08C2D57N2.

**Q: Will this work only on jetson nano, or also on raspberry pi 4?**
A: Hi, this version just can work on Jetson. Please contact us via sales@arducam.com if you want the Raspberry Pi version.

**Q: Can I replace the lenses to 180 degree?**
A: I think Yes IF the lens fits the M12 mount.

**Q: What's the technical difference between this and the Pi version?**
A: Basically 2 things: the crypto chip and the IR filter. 
The crypto chip ensures all IMX219 and IMX477 Pi camera modules are revenue streams that feed into the RPI foundation, so that’s a licensing charge, which does not exist when it comes to the Jetson version.
The difference in IR filters is because the Jetson Nano’s Image Signal Processor processes the images in a different way from the Pi’s.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp Image Quality and Small Size
*by K***S on November 23, 2020*

The IMX477 sensor in this camera is sharp and produces excellent image quality. I'm thrilled they came out with this smaller version for tight projects. This camera works extremely well on my Jetson Nano and Xavier boards and I'm able to pull high resolution with minimal latency.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Terrible. picture quality! But support is good.
*by I***. on April 20, 2025*

It does come with both 15 pin and 22 pin cables and can be coonected to Orin Nano BUT quality is unacceptable. It is so bad that even face detect wont recognize you from 1 ft distance.. No matter how much you try to manually focus it.. the quality is terrible. I beleive it must be defective.Update: Support is very good and are trying to help me out. For this reason I am giving it 3 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a 22 pin 0.5mm pitch cable in the box
*by N***R on August 7, 2024*

From reading reviews, I anticipated having to order a 22pin 0.5mm pitch cable. But the box included one. Swapping it was easy. Still haven't tried the camera, but I have an existing one that works just fine on a Jetson Nano. From the other reviews, I suspect it'll work just fine on the Orin Nano too.Would've given it 5 stars, but it'd be nice if the seller mentioned the 22pin cable was included.
