Description

The Arducam NOIR 8MP camera module is engineered for developers and makers requiring robust, dual-mode vision capabilities on the Raspberry Pi platform. At its core is the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel color CMOS sensor, which provides high-resolution still imaging and smooth video capture up to 1080p at 30 fps. The integrated motorized IR cut filter is the key differentiator, enabling automatic switching between standard color reproduction during the day and high-sensitivity infrared imaging for night vision applications, all controlled via software.

Housed with a standard M12 lens mount, the module offers exceptional flexibility. The included LS1820 lens provides a 100-degree horizontal field of view, but the system can be adapted with a vast selection of M12 lenses to achieve different focal lengths, depths of field, and perspectives—from wide-angle to telephoto. This makes it an ideal sensor for Raspberry Pi-based projects in security, machine vision, smart agriculture monitoring, and ambient light sensing where environmental conditions vary.

Key Features

  • 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 color CMOS image sensor for high-detail capture.
  • Integrated motorized IR cut filter enables automatic switching between daylight (color) and night vision (NOIR) modes.
  • Standard M12 threaded lens mount for easy interchangeability with a wide variety of lenses.
  • Direct Raspberry Pi compatibility via the dedicated Camera Serial Interface (CSI) connector.
  • Supports multiple video modes: 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and 640x480 at 90fps.
  • High sensitivity with low dark current and minimal smear for improved image quality in low light.
  • On-chip automatic optical black (OB) clamp circuit for stable black level reference.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi-based security and surveillance systems with day/night capability.
  • Machine vision and object recognition projects requiring high-resolution input.
  • Smart home automation for ambient light sensing and presence detection.
  • DIY wildlife monitoring and smart agriculture applications.
  • Educational robotics and computer vision prototyping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable the motorized IR cut filter for night vision mode on my Raspberry Pi?

The motorized IR cut filter is controlled via software through the Raspberry Pi's camera libraries. After connecting the module to the CSI port, you can use standard commands in the Raspberry Pi Camera Module Python library or the 'libcamera' stack to send a control signal that physically moves the filter out of the optical path, enabling the sensor's full infrared sensitivity for night vision (NOIR) imaging.

Can I use lenses other than the included LS1820 with this Arducam module?

Yes, the module features a standard M12 (S-mount) threaded lens interface, allowing you to swap the included lens with any compatible M12 lens. This enables you to change the field of view, focal length, and aperture for different applications, such as using a telephoto lens for long-range observation or a fisheye lens for ultra-wide-angle coverage. Ensure the lens is designed for a 1/4" sensor format.

What Raspberry Pi models and operating systems are compatible with this camera?

This camera module is compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, 3B+, and 3 models that have a Camera Serial Interface (CSI) connector. It works with standard Raspberry Pi OS distributions (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that support the legacy camera stack (raspistill/raspivid) or the newer libcamera-based software. Ensure your OS is updated and the camera interface is enabled via 'raspi-config' under the 'Interfacing Options' menu.

What is the difference between this NOIR module and a standard color camera module?

The key difference is the integrated motorized IR cut filter. A standard color camera has a fixed IR cut filter that blocks infrared light to produce accurate colors in daylight but renders it blind to IR LEDs at night. This NOIR module's filter can be moved aside, allowing the same sensor to capture detailed infrared illumination for night vision while still providing full-color imaging when the filter is engaged, making it a versatile 24/7 vision solution.
