A highly versatile imaging module designed to provide your Raspberry Pi with both daytime clarity and reliable night vision. Built around the trusted 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 sensor, it connects seamlessly via the standard CSI interface to deliver crisp 3280 x 2464 pixel static images and high-definition video directly to your board.

Standard camera modules restrict makers to either daytime use or washed-out infrared vision, and fixed lenses can severely limit a project's scope. This unit solves that by integrating a mechanical, motorised IR-cut filter that automatically switches based on lighting conditions, alongside an interchangeable M12 lens mount. Whether you are building a round-the-clock home security network, an automated wildlife trap, or a custom machine vision rig, this camera lets you capture the exact footage you need without constantly swapping hardware.

Key Features

  • Capture true-to-life daytime colours and clear night vision thanks to the motorised IR-cut filter that automatically engages or disengages depending on ambient light levels.
  • Tailor your field of view perfectly to your project using the interchangeable M12 lens mount, allowing you to easily swap the included 100° FOV lens for custom focal lengths.
  • Enjoy a hassle-free, plug-and-play software experience because this module is natively supported by Raspberry Pi OS—simply plug it in and use standard libcamera apps without installing additional drivers.
  • Achieve highly detailed photos and smooth video feeds by relying on the proven 8-megapixel Sony IMX219 sensor, delivering the peace of mind and core performance equivalent to official OEM Pi Camera V2 specifications.
  • Connect immediately to your favourite board with the included 15 cm 15-pin and 15-to-22-pin FPC cables, providing out-of-the-box compatibility with standard Raspberry Pi models as well as the compact Pi Zero range.
