The ultra-low light image sensor can receive more light in extremely low light conditions, making it widely applicable to special lighting projects such as astrophotography. Arducam has released four low-light cameras so far, three of which feature switchable Motorized IR-cut. This Camera Module is based on the SONY IMX462 STARVIS Ultra low light image sensor. The sensor has very high Gravity sensitivity and NIR sensitivity for better image quality in low-light environments.

The Camera Module is equipped with a 88(HFOV) M12 Lens. A manual focus camera allows you to use it in situations such as macro photographs, low light conditions, etc. Meanwhile, this Camera Module is native to Raspberry Pi and fully supported by libcamera and Picamera2 library.

Arducam is committed to creating diverse and convenient camera solutions for embedded camera users. We are not only engaged in the production and development of optical products but also strive to provide complete solutions for embedded cameras, optical components, etc.

Applications:

• Astrophotography
• Surveillance cameras
• FA cameras
• Industrial/Agricultural cameras
• Autonomous mobile robots, UGV/UAV, ADAS, etc.

Notes:

• The package contains small contents, please keep it away from children to avoid accidental ingestion
• After receiving the package, please confirm whether the contents of the package are consistent with the description
• No Raspberry Pi board is included in the package
• This camera is natively supported by Raspberry Pi, you dont need an additional driver to run it, but you will need some configuration, please refer to the following doc.

Features:

1. Ultra Low Light: Based on the Sony STAVIS Ultra Low Light IMX462 image sensor, which is capable of capturing visible and near-infrared images with very low noise even in extremely low-light conditions or no light (near 0 lux).
2. High G Sensitivity: Up to 10471 G sensitivity of IMX462 Camera. Gravity sensitivity is an important indicator of camera performance in low-light conditions. Higher the G sensitivity, the better the low-light performance.
3. Better NIR Sensitivity: NIR(near infrared) imaging performance is one of the most crucial features for smart surveillance, smart traffic monitoring, and agricultural applications. IMX462 image sensor can achieve ~1 NIR sensitivity, which enables it to accept more of the near-infrared spectrum, improving image quality under special lighting conditions
4. Quality Images/Videos: Up to 90fps at 1280720 resolution, 46fps at 19201080 in still mode. Maximum frame rate in Full HD 1080p mode: 30 fps. Support Multiple exposures HDR, Digital Overlay HDR with clear image and higher signal-to-noise ratio.
5. Native to Raspberry Pi: This Camera Module is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3/4/Zero/CM3/CM4. Native to Raspberry Pi. No additional driver is needed. Support the latest Raspberry Pi Bullseye OS and libcamera command.
