Description

The Arducam 5MP OV5647 NoIR Camera Module is engineered for developers and makers requiring infrared-sensitive vision capabilities on the Raspberry Pi platform. Based on the OmniVision OV5647 sensor, it provides a maximum still resolution of 2592×1944 pixels and supports 1080p video streaming at 30 frames per second, with a fixed-focus lens offering a 54°×41° field of view.

Its key differentiator is the removal of the infrared (IR) cut filter, which makes the sensor sensitive to infrared light. This allows the module to function as an effective night vision camera when paired with external IR illuminators, opening use cases in security, wildlife monitoring, and low-light computer vision. The module connects directly to Raspberry Pi boards via a standard 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 connector and is fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi’s native camera software stack, including the `raspistill` and `raspivid` commands, as well as Python libraries like Picamera2.

Key Features

  • 5MP OV5647 CMOS sensor optimized for Raspberry Pi camera interface.
  • NoIR (No Infrared Filter) design for enhanced sensitivity to IR light, enabling night vision.
  • Supports high-resolution still images (2592×1944) and Full HD 1080p video at 30fps.
  • Fixed-focus lens with a 54° (H) × 41° (V) field of view.
  • Direct plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi's 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 port.
  • Compact form factor (25mm x 24mm) for easy integration into enclosures and projects.
  • Works with standard Raspberry Pi camera software and Python scripting environments.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi-based night vision and security monitoring systems.
  • Low-light computer vision and machine learning projects.
  • Wildlife observation and nature monitoring with IR illumination.
  • Educational projects for learning image processing and Python scripting.
  • Drop-in replacement for official Raspberry Pi Camera Module in IR-sensitive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enable and configure this Arducam NoIR module on my Raspberry Pi?

First, ensure your Raspberry Pi OS is updated. Connect the camera via the 15-pin MIPI CSI-2 port with the ribbon cable. Enable the camera interface using `sudo raspi-config` under 'Interface Options'. Reboot, then test with `libcamera-hello` or traditional commands like `raspistill -o test.webp`. For IR applications, you'll need to provide external IR illumination as the sensor itself has no built-in lights.

Can I use this camera for night vision without any additional hardware?

No, the NoIR sensor is sensitive to infrared light but does not emit it. For active night vision, you must pair the module with an external IR LED illuminator. The camera will then capture the reflected IR light, creating a visible monochrome image in complete darkness. Passive night vision using ambient IR light is also possible but requires some ambient IR source.

What is the difference between this NoIR version and a standard Raspberry Pi camera?

A standard Raspberry Pi camera has an IR-cut filter that blocks infrared light to produce accurate daytime colors. This NoIR version removes that filter, allowing IR light to reach the sensor. This makes colors appear washed out in daylight but enables IR sensitivity for night vision and specialized imaging. It is a hardware modification, not a software setting.

What software and libraries are compatible with this Arducam OV5647 module?

The module is fully compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi camera software stack. This includes the legacy `raspistill` and `raspivid` commands, the newer `libcamera` suite, and Python libraries such as Picamera2 and OpenCV. You can use the same scripts and code written for the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V1/V2 without modification.
