Waveshare 360° Omnidirectional High-Torque 2-Axis Expandable Pan-Tilt Camera Module, Driven by Serial Bus Servos (US)
Offers 360° rotation and -45° to 90° tilt range
Ensures clear low-light images with LED fill light
Supports Raspberry Pi 4B and 5 integration
Enables high accuracy with 12-bit magnetic encoder
Allows flexible expansion and secondary development
The Waveshare 360° Omnidirectional High-Torque 2-Axis Expandable Pan-Tilt Camera Module, Driven by Serial Bus Servos (US) is a sophisticated device designed for versatile camera control applications. It features a high-torque, two-degree-of-freedom pan-tilt mechanism, driven by serial bus servos, allowing for precise and expansive movement. The module supports a full 360° horizontal rotation and a vertical tilt range from -45° to 90°, making it suitable for a wide array of surveillance and monitoring tasks.
This camera module is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B and 5, providing seamless integration into existing systems. It is equipped with a 160° ultra wide-angle 5MP camera, ensuring a broad field of view to capture extensive areas. The inclusion of an LED fill light enhances image clarity in low-light conditions, making it ideal for both day and night operations.
The module is built on a general driver board for robots, offering open-source control demonstrations for various functionalities such as photo taking, video recording, face detection, and motion detection. These features can be accessed and controlled via a cross-platform web application, which supports customization and secondary development, allowing users to tailor the interface and add new functionalities as needed.
The design incorporates a joint direct-drive system with high-precision serial bus servos and a 12-bit magnetic encoder, enabling closed-loop control by providing feedback on joint angle, load, and other parameters. This ensures high accuracy and reliability in operation. The module also supports flexible expansion, making it a versatile choice for developers looking to integrate it into diverse projects.
*Note: Ensure proper handling and installation to avoid damage to the device or injury.

Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
