Out of Stock

This Raspberry Pi camera module integrates a 5MP OmniVision 5647 sensor with infrared LEDs for 24/7 surveillance, connecting via the dedicated high-bandwidth CSI interface for plug-and-play operation on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and compatible boards.

Features

  • 5MP OmniVision 5647 sensor delivers 2592 x 1944 stills and 1080p30/720p60 video.
  • Integrated infrared (IR) LEDs enable clear night vision surveillance in low-light or total darkness.
  • Dedicated CSI (Camera Serial Interface) ensures high-bandwidth, plug-and-play connection to Raspberry Pi GPIO.
  • Fixed-focus lens with f/1.8 aperture and 3.6mm focal length provides a 75.7° field of view.
  • Compact, lightweight module (25mm x 23mm) is powered directly from the Raspberry Pi’s 5V rail.

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.

Key Features

  • 24/7 surveillance capability with automatic IR-cut filter switching for day/night operation.
  • High-speed CSI interface provides a dedicated data path for minimal CPU overhead during video capture.
  • Wide 75.7-degree field of view suitable for room monitoring, doorbell cameras, or wildlife observation.
  • Fixed-focus design simplifies installation and eliminates the need for manual calibration.
  • Low-power IR LEDs provide effective night vision range for indoor security applications.
  • Fully compatible with standard Raspberry Pi camera software libraries (e.g., Picamera2).

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi-based home security and surveillance systems.
  • IoT doorbell cameras and baby monitors with night vision.
  • Wildlife observation and time-lapse photography in low-light conditions.
  • Machine vision projects requiring simple, cost-effective image capture.
  • Educational projects for learning computer vision and embedded systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5?

Yes, this camera module uses the standard CSI interface found on all Raspberry Pi models with a 15-pin connector, including the Pi 4 and Pi 5. You will need to ensure you have the correct ribbon cable length and use the standard `libcamera` or `picamera2` software libraries for operation. The physical mounting holes may differ between Pi models, so a compatible case or adapter might be required.

How do I enable and control the infrared night vision feature?

The infrared LEDs are typically controlled automatically by the sensor's built-in light detection. For manual control, you can often disable the auto-switch in software and control an onboard GPIO pin connected to the IR LED circuit. Consult the specific driver or library documentation for your Raspberry Pi OS distribution to find the correct configuration file or Python library commands to toggle the IR illumination on demand.

What software is needed to capture video and images on Raspberry Pi OS?

On modern Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye or later), use the `libcamera` stack. Install it via terminal (`sudo apt install libcamera-apps`). For stills, use `libcamera-jpeg`, and for video, use `libcamera-vid`. For legacy OS versions or the older `picamera` Python library, ensure the camera interface is enabled via `sudo raspi-config` under 'Interface Options'. The newer `picamera2` library provides a Python wrapper for `libcamera`.
