8MP IR Camera Module V2 for Raspberry Pi
The Pi NoIR boasts an 8-megapixel image sensor, similar to that found in the standard Raspberry Pi camera. However, unlike its counterpart, it has had the infrared cut-off filter removed to enhance its ability to capture IR light. This feature makes it compatible with all Raspberry Pi models and delivers exceptional resolution.
The 8MP IR Camera Module V2 for Raspberry Pi boasts a compact and lightweight design, along with high sensitivity, low crosstalk, and minimal noise for impeccable image capture. Connecting to the Raspberry Pi board through the CSI connector, it efficiently transfers pixel data to the processor at extremely high speeds.
In April 2016, the original PiNoIR Camera Module was exchanged for the infrared Camera Module v2 (Pi NoIR). The upgraded version comes equipped with a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor, an improvement from the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor featured in the original camera.
The Pi NoIR provides all the features of the standard Camera Module, except for the absence of an infrared filter. In other words, photos taken during the day will have a unique appearance, but it allows you to capture images in low light conditions using infrared lighting.
Included with the Pi NoIR is a small square of blue gel that can be utilized alongside the camera to track the well-being of plants. This gadget is highly sought after by those interested in observing wildlife, as it allows for discreet monitoring of nocturnal creatures in your yard through the use of infrared LEDs.
The camera is compatible with Raspberry Pi versions 1, 2, and 3. It is accessible through both the MMAL and V4L APIs, and there are various third-party libraries available, such as the Picamera Python library. For guidance on using the camera, refer to the Getting Started with Picamera resource.
