Arducam 2MP IMX290 Low Light Camera Module with Motorized IR Cut filter e for Pi
Brand: Arducam
About this item
The Arducam 2MP IMX290 Low Light Camera Module is a high-sensitivity imaging solution designed for Raspberry Pi users who require clear video and stills in challenging lighting conditions. Powered by the Sony IMX290 back-illuminated CMOS sensor, this camera delivers exceptional low-light performance with minimal noise, making it ideal for surveillance, astronomy, wildlife monitoring, and other vision applications in dark environments. What sets this module apart is its motorized IR-Cut filter, which automatically switches between daytime color and nighttime infrared modes based on ambient lighting. This ensures accurate color reproduction during the day and enhanced IR sensitivity at night when used with IR LEDs. With a full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 and support for up to 120fps at lower resolutions, the camera enables smooth video capture and real-time image processing. The included M12 lens offers flexibility in field of view adjustments, while the standard MIPI CSI-2 interface ensures seamless compatibility with Raspberry Pi boards like the 4B, 3B+, and Zero. Compact and robust, the Arducam IMX290 camera module is a go-to solution for developers and makers building low-light or dual-mode vision systems.
