The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR Wide combines a 120° ultra-wide field of view with infrared sensitivity. Featuring the 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 sensor with phase detection autofocus, it's ideal for wide-area surveillance, night vision, and specialised imaging applications. Without an infrared cut filter, this camera can see near-infrared light when paired with IR illumination, while the wide-angle lens captures more of the scene in every frame. Key Features 120° Wide Angle – Ultra-wide field of view captures more of the scene No IR Filter – Infrared-sensitive for night vision applications 12MP Sony IMX708 Sensor – High-resolution stills and video Phase Detection Autofocus – Fast focusing from 5cm to infinity HDR Support – High dynamic range mode up to 3MP Close Focus – Minimum focus distance of just 5cm Specifications Sensor: Sony IMX708 (11.9MP, infrared-sensitive) Pixel Size: 1.4μm × 1.4μm Focus Range: 5cm to infinity Focal Length: 2.75mm Field of View: 120° diagonal, 102° horizontal, 67° vertical Aperture: F2.2 Video Modes: 1080p50, 720p100, 480p120 Dimensions: 25 × 24 × 12.4mm Cable: 200mm, 15-pin 1mm FPC Production Lifetime: At least January 2030 Ideal For Wide-area night vision surveillance Wildlife and nature monitoring Security systems with IR illumination Dashcams and action cameras Tip: Pair with IR LEDs for night vision. Daytime images will have a colour cast due to the lack of IR filtering.
