Unlike standard cameras, it omits the infrared filter, enabling night vision capabilities with IR lighting. Fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models and supported by the latest Raspbian OS, it’s ideal for innovative projects requiring clear imaging in any light condition. ## Description Product Description The infra-red camera module v2 (Pi NoIR) replaced the original PiNoIR camera in April 2016. The v2 camera has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera). The Pi NoIR gives you everything the regular camera module offers, with one difference: it does not employ an infrared filter. (NoIR = No Infrared.) This means that pictures you take by daylight will look decidedly curious, but it gives you the ability to see in the dark with infrared lighting. The camera works with all models of Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3. It can be accessed through the MMAL and V4L APIs, and there are numerous third-party libraries built for it, including the Picamera Python library. The V2 cameras are also backwards compatible, should you want to swap out a Pi Camera on an existing project or use an older model of Raspberry Pi. Just make sure you're version of Raspbian is up to date. There are some changes, of course, primarily in its CCD resolution. It now boast an 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 CCD (as opposed to its predecessor's 5 megapixels), and there's a new lens in place to beam a crystal-clear image onto it. You can expect resolutions for Photos up to 3280 px by 2464 px and Video at 1080p at 30fps; 720p at 60 fps; and 640 by 480p at 90 fps, offering a bit of slow-mo fun.

I purchased this camera for a PI Zero W and it has not disappointed as secondary camera when using the IR LED's from a the camera on an old Raspberry PI 2 that I had laying around Review: Easy set up for monitoring 3D projects. - Easy set up. Already had the feature enabled for my Pi. A restart of the board and I had a great picture. Made it really easy to monitor my 3D projects. ## Features - 8 megapixel camera capable of taking infrared photographs of 3280 x 2464 pixels - Capture video at 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 resolutions - All software is supported within the latest version of Raspbian Operating System - 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 image sensor - 1 x Raspberry Pi Camera NOIR V2 + 1 x Blue gel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01ER2SMHY | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,717 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #85 in Webcams & VoIP Equipment | | Brand | Raspberry Pi | | Built-In Media | Camera Body | | Compatible Devices | Single Board Computers or Development Boards with standard CSI interface | | Connectivity Technology | Infrared | | Connectivity technology | Infrared | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00640522710898 | | Included components | Camera Body | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3L x 25W millimeters | | Manufacturer | Raspberry Pi | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Memory storage capacity | 1 TB | | Mfr Part Number | RPI3-NOIR-V2 | | Model Name | NOIR Camera Module V2 | | Model Number | RPI3-NOIR-V2 | | Model name | NOIR Camera Module V2 | | Operating System | Raspbian | | Operating system | Raspbian | | Processor Brand | Broadcom | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR2 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Total Usb Ports | 4 | | UPC | 616909468003 640522710898 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Raspberry Pi - **Connectivity technology:** Infrared - **Included components:** Camera Body - **Memory storage capacity:** 1 TB - **Model name:** NOIR Camera Module V2 ## Images ![Raspberry Pi NoIR v2.1 8 MP 1080p Camera Module - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mWOVd3R5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Whats the difference between this and this https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Pi-Camera-Module-Megapixel/dp/B01ER2SKFS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=148575190** A: Note that the NOIR won't render daylight the same since the IR will affect the CCD (sensor). So if for daylight - don't get the NOIR. If for night (or partly night) get the NOIR. Just note the NOIR won't look the same unless you re-install the IR filter. You can web-search for image differences. **Q: Can the cable be removed so I can use a pi zero cable?** A: The issue is with the Pi Zero which requires a special end on the cable where it connects to the Pi Zero. The camera end of the cable is the same for all the Pi cameras. If you have a camera cable for the Pi Zero, the camera end should fit this camera fine. **Q: Im just seeing black when using in low light conditions. Are there any adjustments that need to be made?** A: I have not had much success with very low light using the Noir camera. To do so would require adding an external IR light source. You can get a little extra sensitivity by increasing thr iso in your code. It defaults to 200 but you can increase it to about 1600 to add about 3 stops of exposure. Down side is that higher iso values add noise. **Q: How long is the cable provided?** A: Mine came with a 6inch cable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really quite impessive *by F***T on 31 May 2020* During lock down I set myself a goal of putting a CCTV system together for my motorcycle garage and this project just keeps on growing!
