Description

The Arducam 5MP OV5647 NoIR Camera Module is engineered for robust, round-the-clock vision applications on the Raspberry Pi platform. Its core innovation is a software-controllable, motorized IR-cut filter that mechanically slides into place for true-color daytime photography and retracts for high-sensitivity infrared imaging after dark. This is complemented by two broad-spectrum IR LED illuminator boards that activate based on ambient light levels, providing invisible illumination for covert surveillance or wildlife monitoring.

Built around a 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor, the module outputs crisp 2592×1944 stills and supports full-motion video. The included LS-30188 lens features an IR-corrected optical design with an M12 mount, ensuring that visible and infrared wavelengths converge on the same focal plane to eliminate the focus shift common in standard lenses. The module operates from a 3.3V to 5V supply, matching the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO power rails, and comes with necessary cabling for immediate integration into Pi-based IoT vision systems, smart agriculture setups, or DIY security projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I control the motorized IR-cut filter on this Arducam module?

The IR-cut filter is controlled via a GPIO pin on your Raspberry Pi. You need to connect the filter's control wire to a designated GPIO pin, then use Python scripts or command-line tools to set the pin high or low to slide the filter in or out. Arducam typically provides sample code to automate this based on a light sensor or a time schedule, enabling seamless switching between daylight color and infrared night vision modes.

What Raspberry Pi models is this camera compatible with, and which cable should I use?

This camera is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a CSI connector. The package includes two 150mm FFC cables: a wider cable for standard Raspberry Pi models (A, B, 3, 4) and a thinner cable specifically for the Raspberry Pi Zero. Ensure you use the correct cable for your Pi model to connect the camera's ribbon to the board's CSI port, then enable the camera interface via 'raspi-config' or in the Raspberry Pi OS settings.

Can I use this camera for NDVI (plant health) imaging in agriculture projects?

Yes, this camera is well-suited for NDVI and other plant health analysis. The NoIR (No Infrared filter) sensor is sensitive to near-infrared light, and the motorized IR-cut filter can be removed to capture IR reflectance. You would typically pair it with a visible light filter, capture separate IR and visible images, and process them using software like Python OpenCV to calculate NDVI indices, which indicate vegetation health and biomass.
