Raspberry Pi OV5647 5MP IR-Cut Camera Module – 1080P

The Raspberry Pi OV5647 5MP IR-Cut Camera Module is a CSI-interface camera for Raspberry Pi boards, featuring the OV5647 5-megapixel sensor with a maximum still resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels and 1080p HD video output. The ov5647 5mp 1080p ir-cut camera for raspberry pi connects through the standard CSI ribbon cable to the Raspberry Pi camera port and draws power directly through the interface — no separate power supply or voltage regulator is needed. The raspberry pi camera module is recognised and controlled using the libcamera stack or the legacy raspistill and raspivid command-line tools included in Raspberry Pi OS.

The IR-Cut camera module with day night switching uses a motorised or electronic IR-Cut filter that physically moves in front of the sensor element — during daylight, the filter blocks infrared light to produce accurate natural colour images. After dark, the filter retracts to allow infrared light through, enabling usable monochrome night vision footage. This automatic day/night switching is the key functional advantage of this raspberry pi camera over standard OV5647 modules without the IR-Cut filter, which produce colour-distorted images in daylight due to unfiltered infrared contamination. One practical note: fixed focus means the lens position is set at the factory and cannot be adjusted without disassembly.

The non-obvious detail about the CSI interface on this raspberry pi camera price-efficient module is bandwidth — the CSI-2 lane carries significantly more data per second than a USB 2.0 camera, which is why Raspberry Pi camera modules achieve higher frame rates and lower latency than equivalent USB webcams at the same resolution for OpenCV and computer vision builds. Available from StemVolt, this unit is suitable for engineers working on Raspberry Pi vision applications and practical embedded camera projects.
