Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR
Overview
The SC0873 is a high-performance infrared-sensitive camera module based on the Sony IMX708 sensor, featuring a 12-megapixel resolution and powered autofocus capability. This NoIR version lacks an infrared cut filter, making it ideal for low-light photography and security applications when used with external IR illumination.
Why Choose This Part
This module provides native phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) for rapid, sharp imaging and high dynamic range (HDR) support for high-contrast scenes. Its CSI-2 interface ensures high-bandwidth data transfer with low CPU overhead on Raspberry Pi hardware.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect the module to the MIPI CSI-2 port of a Raspberry Pi using the included ribbon cable and enable the camera interface via raspi-config. Use the libcamera library and command-line tools like libcamera-still or libcamera-vid for initial testing and configuration.
