Arducam OV9281 1MP Global Shutter Monochrome NoIR Camera Module w/ M12 Lens
Arducam OV9281 1MP Global Shutter Monochrome NoIR Camera Module with M12 lens for Raspberry Pi 4/3B+/3. This global shutter sensor connects directly to the Pi’s CSI-2 interface for high-speed motion capture and computer vision applications.
Features
- 1MP OV9281 Global Shutter Sensor: Enables crisp, distortion-free capture of fast-moving objects, ideal for gesture detection and motion analysis.
- Monochrome NoIR Design: Lacks an IR filter for enhanced sensitivity in low-light and near-infrared illumination scenarios.
- Direct Raspberry Pi CSI-2 Interface: Plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi 4, 3B+, Zero, and Compute Modules via the native 2-lane MIPI serial interface.
- M12 Lens Mount: Provides flexibility to swap lenses for different focal lengths and fields of view.
- Native V4L2 Driver Support: Works with the latest Raspberry Pi firmware for seamless integration into Linux-based computer vision pipelines.

The Arducam OV9281 is a specialized monochrome camera module built around the 1-megapixel OV9281 CMOS sensor featuring a global shutter. Unlike rolling shutter sensors, the global shutter captures the entire image simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and skew for applications involving rapid movement. The module ships with a default M12 mount lens, offering a focusing range from 30mm to infinity.
Designed explicitly for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, it connects directly to the board’s CSI-2 camera interface via a 2-lane MIPI serial output, requiring no additional hardware. The sensor’s lack of an IR filter (NoIR) makes it sensitive to near-infrared light, enhancing performance in controlled lighting or machine vision setups using IR illumination. Its output supports RAW8/10 formats, providing flexibility for image processing algorithms.
