What is OV5647?

The OV5647 Camera Module is a Raspberry Pi add-on that was specially designed. One of the two little connections on the board's upper surface connects it to the Raspberry Pi. This interface employs the CSI interface, which was created specifically for connecting to cameras. The CSI   bus can handle exceptionally high data rates and is only used to transport pixel data.

The camera is connected to the Pi's BCM2835 processor through the CSI bus, a higher-bandwidth link that sends pixel data back to the processor. This bus follows the ribbon cable that connects the camera board to the Raspberry Pi,  The camera is compatible with  Raspbian, Raspberry  Pi's chosen operating system.

How does OV5647 work?

A small ribbon connection links the OV5647  to the  Raspberry Pi. The camera is connected to the Pi's BCM2835 processor through the CSI bus, a higher-bandwidth link that sends pixel data back to the processor. This bus follows the ribbon cable that connects the camera board to the Raspberry Pi,1.
