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.
