The Raspberry Pi NoIR camera module is an add-on for the Raspberry Pi. This module is perfectly suitable for taking infrared picture because it does not have installed a "IR-Cut-filter".

The dedicated CSI interface which is specially developed for the connection with cameras, can be used with this camera. The CSI bus is capable of processing a huge amount of data rates.

The module is with its 25 x 20 x 9 mm very compact. Through its low weight it is perfect for mobile or other applications whereby the size and the weight are important.

It is also connected with the Raspberry via a ribbon cable (a standard cable which is in the scope of delivery, is separately obtainable in different lengths).

The sensor itself has a resolution of 5 Megapixel and has installed a focus lens. The camera can take still images with a resolution of up to 2592 x 1944 Pixels. Moreover, it has different modes for video recordings.
