8MP Noir RPI Camera V2 Module to Suit Raspberry Pi

This new Raspberry Pi Camera Module 2 NoIR is a replacement for original version and now features a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera). The Camera Module 2 NoIR gives you everything the standard Camera Module offers, with one difference: it does not employ an infrared filter. (NoIR = No Infrared filter.) This means that pictures you take by daylight will look decidedly curious, but it gives you the ability to see in the dark with infrared lighting.

Included with the camera is a bundle a little square of blue gel, which you can use with the camera to monitor the health of green plants. The NoIR variant is very popular among wildlife hobbyists: with a few infrared LEDs, you can monitor what nocturnal animals are doing in your garden without disturbing them.

The camera works with all models of Raspberry Pi that have a CSI connector (all except Raspberry Pi 400 and the 2016 launch version of Zero). It can be accessed through libcamera and the libcamera-based Picamera2 Python library beta.
