This Arducam module utilises the identical 12MP image sensor found in the Raspberry Pi High-Quality Camera. However, it distinguishes itself by incorporating a mechanical IR cut-off filter that automatically adjusts according to the lighting conditions. Unlike the official RPi HQ camera, which lacks sensitivity to infrared and does not have a NoIR version, this Arducam camera module not only offers infrared sensitivity but also preserves the natural ambiance during daylight. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models equipped with a camera connector.

If you require the non-motorised IR-cut filter edition, see the B0240.

Important Notes

Our camera module support 4-lane in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires extra customisation. Here is why:

Standard Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX can’t physically support a 4-lane connection (both of them only have 2-lane CSI connectors). Only the Raspberry Pi Compute Module and some 3rd party Jetson Carrier Boards come with 4-lane hardware support. Therefore, it’s not a general need.
Extra works, specifically camera drivers, are required for a 4-lane connection other than the 4-lane physical connector. And the drivers are limited by the performances of the platform itself. For example, 4-lane can’t unlock 4k video on Raspberry Pi because the VideoCore does not currently support it. Jetson Nano is also to some extent limited because of the encoding capabilities. You need to make sure you really need it.
