Pros

Camera works perfectly and no one realizes it's a camera! Works and prompt delivery. You have to ground yourself so you don't accidentally destroy the camera by touching the board.

All cmos image sensors are sensitive to near iinfrared light, but they are usually fitted with a filter to keep infrared light from reaching the sensor. Works well with the python picamera library and is quite sensitive in the 850-900 nm near ir band....  Read More

Performs like a champ.

It takes a little tinkering in the rasp-config. It installs easily to the raspberry pi camera strip, behind usb connector, labeled 'camera' the rasbiain os comes with utilities to drive the camera.

    Would probably work better at night if i added some ir leds but takes surprisingly bright lowlight photos


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The camera isnt the best and i cant change any of the color settings for it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If the camera module is allowed to flop around independently youll likely end up pulling the ribbon cable loose at one end or possibly damaging the cable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pi noir camera itself is just regular pi camera module without the ir filter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What gives pi cam noir its night vision is infrared light you supply


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Depending on distance from the camera module it may require a lot of ir illumination


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I used  phenas® home 48led cctv ir infrared night vision illuminator camera leds lamp and found it useful only to about 15 feet from the camera


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So if you are intending to monitor a large yard with this module be aware that you will need powerful ir light sources
