PH-Cam-M — ПХ-Cam-M in Russian documents
Sony IMX477 12 MP camera module with an M12 lens on a MIPI CSI-2 ribbon cable — for the PH-K01, PH-J01 and PH-J31: no USB, no network, minimal latency, driver in the system image.
Outline drawing; product photos are on the product page. Dimensions: ≈38×38×20 mm with the M12 lens.
- Sony IMX477 12.3 MP 1/2.3″: 4056×3040@10, 1080p@60; IMX219 8 MP option
- MIPI CSI-2 2 / 4 lane, 15- or 22-pin ribbon cable — to match the carrier connector, included
- M12 6 mm lens (≈65°) with manual focus; 8 / 12 mm — options; IR-cut filter
- Driver and ISP profile in the PH-K01 / PH-J01 / PH-J31 system image; up to 2–4 cameras per device
Typical uses: embedding into your own device · robot and manipulator · vehicle cab · test bench and development.
1. Purpose
A ribbon-cable camera for boards and boxes with a CSI connector: Sony IMX477 12.3 MP sensor (IMX219 8 MP option), M12 lens with manual focus, 15- / 22-pin ribbon cable. Frames go straight into the processor's ISP — no USB controller and no second network; the driver and ISP settings are already in our system image for RK3588 and Jetson. For embedding into your own device, a robot or a vehicle cab: ribbon cable up to 30 cm, camera housing and extension — options. Need a camera at a distance — USB (PH-Cam-K) or IP (PH-Cam-S / PH-Cam-O).

6. Environment and protection
| Operating temperature | 0…+50 °C |
|---|---|
| Ingress protection | none — open board; housing — option |
| Vibration / shock | not rated |
7. Bench measurements
Measurements are expected with the first samples. What we measure: “frame → model result” latency vs. a USB camera on the same model.
