Overview
This IR-sensitive Raspberry Pi camera module uses the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor, which gives you all the specifications offered by the regular V2 camera module, but with one difference: it does not work with IR filters (NoIR = no IR filter.). This means that your photos taken during the day will look very reddish, but it allows you to see normal scenes in the dark through infrared light.
The Pi NoIR is very popular among wildlife enthusiasts: with a few infrared LEDs, you can monitor the activities of nocturnal animals in your garden without disturbing them. You can also use it to monitor the health of your green plants at night. You don’t need to keep an eye on your plants at all times, just use the camera to record them.
Application
- Night/Low Light vision
- Wildlife photograph
- Home Security
- Time-lapse
- Recording slow motion
- Machine vision, etc.
Features
- More Than HD: This camera adopts a 1/4” 8MP IMX219 sensor for sharp image
- Higher Resolution: Max. still resolution is 3280 x 2464 pixels
- NoIR: It is greatly useful to your various night projects
