## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=AC-B0154:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/AC-B0154:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

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.
