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

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

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

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

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

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

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