Raspberry Pi Infrared IR Night Vision Camera Module 5MP CSI

Description

Designed for embedded vision projects, this Raspberry Pi camera module combines a daylight-capable 5-megapixel sensor with onboard infrared illumination for continuous operation. The OmniVision 5647 CMOS sensor outputs high-resolution stills and smooth video streams directly to the Raspberry Pi’s BCM2835 processor via the dedicated CSI bus, a low-latency interface optimized for camera data.

The module’s fixed-focus lens and wide aperture allow for consistent image capture across varying light conditions. When ambient light drops below a threshold, the integrated IR LEDs automatically activate, illuminating the scene for the sensor without a visible light source, making it ideal for discreet security and monitoring applications. Its compact form factor and simple ribbon cable connection make it a straightforward upgrade for any Raspberry Pi-based IoT or edge computing setup.
