Review on Arducam Raspberry Pi Noir Infrared Camera Module, 5MP OV5647 1080P, High Sensitivity to IR Light by Andy Mitts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

You get what you pay for

I have the noir version. camera works. Daylight colors are slightly distorted, which is to be expected given the lack of an IR filter. The night vision is only marginally better than the normal (Non-Noir) version. I use the Wyze camera nearby (simultaneously). While the Wize camera works great with IR, this camera sees nothing. I expect the camera will perform better, but you really need to pump some serious IR light to make it work. I think the cameras are not as sensitive as the Wize camera. Despite this, the camera still works, which is a good deal. At night, the performance is slightly better than the normal version. I would probably recommend buying the regular version of this camera. If you need a dedicated night vision camera, you might want to look out for something a little more sensitive (and more expensive).
