What is the Waveshare RPi FPC Camera (B)?
Let's break the name down, because it tells you exactly what you're getting: it's an FPC (flexible printed circuit) camera module for Raspberry Pi, built around the OV5647 sensor, offering 5MP resolution, and made in a mini size footprint. That combination is what makes it appealing if you're short on space inside an enclosure or you want the camera itself tucked away neatly rather than dominating the build.
