Arducam High Quality IR-CUT Camera for Raspberry Pi, 12.3MP 1/2.3 Inch 477P HQ Camera Module with 6mm CS Lens for Pi 4B, 3B+, 2B, 3A+, Pi Zero and more
- Day/Night Vision – Switch IR cut filter on/off automatically
- Shaper Images: This camera adopts 1/2.3″ 12.3 Megapixel sensor for sharp image. Max still resolution 4056(H) x 3040(V)
- Replaceable Lens: Replaceable CS/C lens options. You can click B0241 to get the camera bundle with the metal enclosure
- Native to Raspberry Pi: No need to install additional driver for this camera
Overview
This Arducam module uses the same 12MP 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.
Applications
- DSLR Camera Control
- Remote Viewing Camera
- Time-lapse Machine
- Security System
- Smart Video Doorbell
- Face Recognition
- Instant (Polaroid-Style) Camera, etc.

Note
- Raspberry Pi board is not included in the package
- Our camera module support 4-lane in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires extra customization. Here is the reason:
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.
