About this item

The Arducam 8MP IMX219 NOIR V2 Camera Module is a powerful imaging solution equipped for both day and night applications. Built around Sony’s high-resolution 8-megapixel IMX219 sensor, this version drops the IR-cut filter—hence the “NOIR” label—making it highly sensitive to infrared light. This allows the camera to capture scenes in low-light or dark environments using IR illumination, ideal for wildlife monitoring, night surveillance, or timelapse projects. Despite the missing IR filter, the sensor still delivers vivid stills at 3280×2464 resolution and smooth video performance in formats such as 1080p, 1640×1232, and VGA, enabling versatile usage across various Raspberry Pi projects. With plug-and-play compatibility, it connects via the Raspberry Pi’s CSI interface and supports APIs like MMAL, V4L, and popular libraries such as Picamera and libcamera, ensuring seamless integration without driver installation. The module includes FPC cables for easy setup, and its compact 25×24 mm board size makes it unobtrusive in custom enclosures. Whether you're building a nocturnal wildlife camera or enhancing your home security system, the Arducam NOIR V2 offers reliable performance in challenging lighting conditions.
