Raspberry Pi infrared camera module available from Allied Electronics shoots for new applications
29 October 2013 - 9:08PM
Allied Electronics (Allied), the trading brand of Electrocomponents
plc (LSE:ECM), the world's leading high service distributor of
electronics and maintenance products, is now selling the latest
innovative product to emerge from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Priced at £16.80, the Pi NoIR infrared camera module is a variant
of the existing visible light Raspberry Pi camera module stocked by
RS since the end of last year, and features the same 5 megapixel
image sensor as its predecessor with the optical light filter
removed to enable IR light frequencies.
Developed for diverse applications including those requiring
night vision (e.g. security and monitoring nocturnal animal
behaviour), hyperspectral imaging, astronomy, and paranormal
investigation, Pi NoIR is capable of taking still photos with a
resolution of 2592 x 1944. The tiny module, which measures just
20mm x 25mm x 9mm, can also record up to 1080p HD videos at 30
frames per second, allowing users of Raspberry Pi models A and B to
build video applications. The board will plug into the currently
unused CSI pins on the Raspberry Pi, using the I²C interface for
control.
To get started with Pi NoIR, users will need a Raspberry Pi
board, an SD card with OS installed, and a battery pack or power
supply. Optional extras include an infrared lamp, a Raspberry Pi
camera stand, and various cables for HDMI, VGA and Ethernet
connectivity. All components are available to purchase direct from
Allied stock.
