Product description
Arducam Raspberry Pi Camera NoIR
Fixed Focus Lens
This IR-sensitive Raspberry Pi camera module uses the IMX219 8-megapixel sensor, which gives you all the specifications offered by the regular V2 camera module, but with one difference: it does not work with IR filters (NoIR = no IR filter.). This means that your photos taken during the day will look very reddish, but it allows you to see normal scenes in the dark through infrared light.
The Pi NoIR is very popular among wildlife enthusiasts: with a few infrared LEDs, you can monitor the activities of nocturnal animals in your garden without disturbing them. You can also use it to monitor the health of your green plants at night. You don't need to keep an eye on your plants at all times, just use the camera to record them.
Note:
You need to modify the config.txt file and add configuration lines according to the camera type before using it.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
add the line: dtoverlay=imx219
To override the automatic camera detection, Bullseye users will also need to delete the entry or change it to value 0.
camera_auto_detect=1
update: camera_auto_detect=0
For Pi0-3 bullseye users, you also need to enable glamor acceleration:
sudo raspi-config
Navigate to Advanced options→Glamor→enabled
