OV5647 5MP IR-Cut Camera Module w/ Night Vision for Raspberry Pi
This OV5647 5MP IR-Cut camera module connects directly to the Raspberry Pi’s CSI port, providing 1080p video and 5MP stills with a manually-switchable IR filter for accurate daytime color and infrared LED-assisted night vision.
Features
- 5MP OV5647 sensor delivers 1080p video and 2592×1944 still images for Raspberry Pi computer vision projects.
- Manual IR-Cut filter switch eliminates daytime color distortion and enables clear night vision with included IR LEDs.
- On-board adjustable resistor lets you set the ambient light threshold for automatic IR LED activation.
- Dedicated CSI interface ensures plug-and-play compatibility with all Raspberry Pi models running Raspbian OS.
- Provides 3.3V power output screw terminals for attaching and powering external infrared illumination arrays.

This IR-Cut camera module is engineered for Raspberry Pi-based vision applications requiring reliable day/night operation. It features a 5-megapixel OV5647 CMOS sensor paired with a fixed-focus 3.6mm lens (F1.8 aperture, 60° diagonal FOV) to capture high-quality 1080p video streams and 2592 x 1944 pixel still images. The core innovation is the manually-switchable IR-Cut filter, which physically moves to block infrared light during the day for true-to-life colors and retracts at night to allow maximum IR sensitivity.
Integrated control circuitry includes an adjustable resistor for setting a precise ambient light threshold, enabling automatic toggling of the onboard infrared LED array for seamless day-to-night transitions. The module supplies 3.3V power via screw terminals to drive additional external IR LEDs for extended night vision range. Connection is simplified via a 15-pin FFC ribbon cable to the Pi’s native CSI interface, ensuring full driver support in Raspbian for immediate use in security, monitoring, or machine learning projects.
