Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR is the latest member of the Raspberry Pi camera family, featuring a new 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 image sensor, improved low-light sensitivity, autofocus and HDR support. The NoIR version is sensitive to infrared light but does not have an infrared (NoIR) filter on the lens. This makes it perfect for infrared photography and photo / video shooting in low-light environments. For night photography, you need to illuminate the target with infrared light. In addition, the module supports 4608 x 2592 pixel images and 4608 x 2592 @14 FPS / 2304 x 1296 @56 FPS / 1536 x 864 @120 FPS video. When HDR is enabled, the resolution is limited to 2304 x 1296 @30 FPS.

If you want to use it with Raspberry Pi 5, you can choose the Raspberry Pi Camera Cable Standard - Mini - 500mm product.

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR Compatible Accessories:

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR is mechanically identical to the previous V2 version except for the sensor section. However, the new sensor is larger and may not fit all camera housings designed for the previous version.

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR Compatible Software:

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR can only be used with libcamera. Since it requires a new driver and a specific libcamera version, you need to update Raspberry Pi OS.

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR Compatible Board Models:

Raspberry Pi Camera 3 NoIR is compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards that have a camera connector (CSI connector). To use this camera with Raspberry Pi Zero, which has a smaller connector, you need an adapter cable.
