No they are different. Camembert is made in smaller, individual sizes where brie is made in a much larger round cheese. They have similar characteristics however camembert is usually more potent. Camembert has stricter rules about its production, especially Camembert de Normadie or AOC Camembert.

What is difference between Brie and Camembert cheese?

Brie cheese is soft, pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mold and made of cow's milk. It is named after Brie, the French region from which it originated. Camembert is a soft, creamy coloured, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century at Camembert, Normandy in northern France. Both cheeses are similar but Brie is mild while Camembert can develop a strong taste. Brie is often sold in larger rounds than Camembert.
