This amazing 5MP night vision camera is a perfect fit for every version of Raspberry Pi. It comes equipped with infrared lighting, enabling an excellent infrared night - vision mode. You can easily adjust the focus ring according to the object's position. With external 1W high - power 850nm infrared photographic lights, it performs superbly even in dim surroundings. The photoresistors and adjustable resistance can detect the ambient light intensity and automatically set the threshold for the infrared light switch. Specifications include a 5 - million - pixel camera with an OV5647 photosensitive module. It has a 1/4 - inch CCD size, an aperture (f) of 1.8, and an adjustable 3.6MM focal length. The diagonal is 75.7 degrees, and the sensor's best PIX is 1080p. It features 4 screw holes for fixed - position use, runs on 3.3V external power supplies, and supports infrared or fill light access. Its dimensions are 25mm x 24mm (0.98' x 0.94'). Documents for setup involve Shell (Linux command line), Python, Camera Module Setup, Camera board, and hardware setup. The shipping list includes one 5MP Night Vision Camera for Raspberry Pi, two Infrared LED Boards, and one 15PIN FFC.
Using this 5MP night vision camera for your Raspberry Pi is easy. First, set up your camera hardware following the provided documents, which cover things like the Shell (Linux command line) and Python. Attach the camera to your Raspberry Pi in a fixed position using the 4 screw holes. Connect the external 3.3V power supply and the 15PIN FFC. If you want to use the infrared lighting, connect the Infrared LED Boards. When you're ready to take pictures or record, adjust the focus ring according to where your object is. The camera will automatically adjust the infrared light based on the ambient light, thanks to the photoresistors and adjustable resistance. As for maintenance, keep the camera clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues with the camera or the infrared lighting, refer back to the setup documents. And that's it - enjoy high - quality night - vision recording with your Raspberry Pi!
