The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Wide NoIR is a powerful, compact camera featuring a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 sensor. Designed for a wide 120-degree field of view, this camera allows your Raspberry Pi to capture more of the world in both regular and low-light conditions, thanks to its infrared lens. The NoIR version omits the infrared cut filter, making it perfect for night vision projects or applications in low-light environments.

This camera supports HDR mode with up to 3-megapixel output and can capture full HD video and high-resolution still images. The phase detection autofocus ensures rapid focusing, allowing clear images in a variety of lighting conditions. It's fully supported by the libcamera library, making it easy for both beginners and advanced users to integrate into their Raspberry Pi projects.

The Camera Module 3 Wide NoIR is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers and shares the same PCB size and mounting holes as the previous Camera Module 2. The main difference is the improved optics, making the module slightly taller than its predecessor. No additional lens is required, making this an out-of-the-box solution for wide-angle, infrared-enabled video and photo capturing.

Comes with a 200mm long flexible cable for connecting to a Raspberry Pi computer, if it's too short/long we have a range of Raspberry Pi Camera Cables in various lengths, you can use here.

To use with a Pi Zero, you will need an adapter cable, which we stock here!
