About this item

The Arducam Noir Camera is a versatile 5MP monochrome camera module designed for Raspberry Pi users who require high-quality black and white imaging with excellent sensitivity, especially in low-light and infrared applications. Featuring the OV5647 sensor, this camera captures detailed 5-megapixel still images and supports 1080p video at 30 frames per second. Unlike standard color cameras, the Noir model omits the infrared (IR) filter, allowing it to capture a wider spectrum of light, including near-infrared. This makes it ideal for night vision, surveillance, astrophotography, and scientific research where IR sensitivity is crucial. The camera is equipped with a CS mount, providing compatibility with interchangeable lenses such as the LS-2717CS. This flexibility enables users to customize their optical setup to suit specific field-of-view and focus requirements. The CS mount lens adds versatility for diverse projects from wide-angle surveillance to telephoto zoom imaging. Connecting via the standard MIPI CSI-2 interface, the Arducam Noir works seamlessly with Raspberry Pi boards, including the Pi 4, Pi 3, and Compute Modules. It supports Raspberry Pi’s native camera software stack and is well-suited for computer vision and image processing applications requiring monochrome imaging.
