Pi NoIR 8MP Infrared Camera Module V2
Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched yet another camera with top-quality, high-resolution night vision. The Original Pi NoIR Camera Module has advanced features with the upgraded 8 Megapixel infrared Pi NoIR Camera v2. Due to the Sony IMX219 (8 MP) the quality is far better than OmniVision 5647 (5MP) found in the original camera module.
However, the picture quality won’t be the best as Pi NoIR doesn’t feature infrared filters during the daylight but on the positive side, users will be able to see around through the dark, all due to an impressive infrared feature.
