High Resolution Camera
Introduction
A camera with a static resolution higher than 8MP is called a High Resolution Camera.
High-resolution cameras output denser image quality with more pixels per inch (PPI), so as to create high-quality crisp images. In practice, the resolution of images produced by high-resolution cameras should be above 8 megapixels.
It is not news to see high-resolution images on your smartphone or from DSLR photos. But when it comes to the Nvidia Jetson camera, the story is more impressive. Especially when Arducam sped up on its way of breaking the resolution limits, bringing higher and higher resolution items.

Hardware
-
Locate the camera connector (CSI). It’s on the side of the carrier board, opposite to the GPIO pins.
-
Pull up on the plastic edges of the camera port. Do it gently to avoid pulling it off.
- Push in the camera ribbon. Make sure the contacts are facing the heatsinks. Do not bend the flex cable, and make sure it’s firmly inserted into the bottom of the connector.

- Push the plastic connector down. Do it while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place.
