Introduction
This Arducam module uses the same 12MP IMX477 image sensor as the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, but offers a mechanical IR cut-off filter switched automatically based on light condition. The official RPi HQ camera is not sensitive to infrared, and there won’t be a NoIR version. On the contrary, this Arducam camera module not only offers sensitivity to infrared, but also keeps the natural feeling during daylight. It’s fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models with a camera connector.

Quick Start Guide
NOTE
The latest Raspberry Pi Image System is recommended.
Hardware Setup
First Use
1.Check whether the camera is detected
ls /dev/video0
2.Preview the camera feed
raspistill -t 0 -awb greyworld
3.Save an image
Take a picture after a two-second (time in milliseconds) delay and save it as arducam.jpg.
raspistill -t 1000 -o arducam.jpg -awb greyworld
