Product Review
The Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module is a custom designed night vision camera module for Raspberry Pi. Unlike the regular Pi camera, the NoIR does not have an IR cut filter, making it sensitive to IR illumination.
- The Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module is a custom designed add-on for Raspberry Pi that does not have an 'IR cut filter' installed
- Like the regular Pi camera, it attaches to Raspberry Pi by way of one of the two small sockets on the board upper surface.
- The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixel, and has a fixed focus lens onboard. In terms of still images, the camera is capable of 2592 x 1944 pixel static images, and also supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p60/90 video.
- This version is best for night-vision use - you'll have to flood the area you're shooting with infrared light. There is some nature photography that is enhanced by an IR camera, as well. It's not great for every-day video and photo taking. In those cases, we suggest the regular Pi Cam. A small piece of blue filter plastic is included in case you want to re-add the cut filter, however it wont look as good as if you had the camera with the original filter in place so it's more for experimentation!
