Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera

Overview

The Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module is a custom camera for the Raspberry Pi which has no Infrared filter, which makes it perfect for taking Infrared photographs or photographing objects in low light.

The camera plugs directly into the CSI connector on the Raspberry Pi. It’s able to deliver clear 5MP resolution image at2592 x 1944 pixels,  1080p HD video recording at 30fps! and 720p HD video at 60fps and a number of other options.

The module attaches to Raspberry Pi, by way of a 15 Pin Ribbon Cable, to the dedicated 15-pin MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI), which was designed especially for interfacing to cameras. The CSI bus is capable of extremely high data rates,  and it exclusively carries pixel data to the BCM2835 processor.

The camera is supported in the latest version of Raspbian, Raspberry Pi’s preferred operating system.
