This NoIR SPI Camera Module is the ultimate imaging solution for low-light environments, and space-constrained projects, and offers exceptional versatility and image quality. It comes equipped with an alternative M12 lens (NoIR) featuring a 75-degree horizontal field of view (HFOV) specifically designed for low-light applications. High-level commands are built into the module, allowing you to manipulate camera settings through API access. It’s as intuitive as using a DSLR camera, with the convenience of button clicks for quick adjustments.
This module offers a rapid 94ms wake-up time, ensuring that you’re always ready to capture the perfect shot, and it keeps power consumption low, consuming as little as under 200mw to use it for longer on a single charge. Designed to work seamlessly with any microcontroller supporting a standard SPI interface, this camera module is the perfect choice for various platforms, including
Arduino
,
Raspberry Pi
,
ESP32
, and more.
This SPI Camera Module ups its imaging game, with DSLR-like control, quick response, and compatibility with various microcontrollers, it’s the go-to solution for all your imaging needs, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Features
- Low Light Vision: Equipped with an alternative M12 Lens (NoIR) with 75-degree HFOV. Especially suitable for low-light environment applications, e.g. night/darkness vision.
- Easy Using: High-level commands are built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
- Multiplexing: Up to 4 cameras running on a single MCU by using an adapter board. They capture at the same time with sequential readout.
- Open Source SDK: The SDK is fully open-source with an MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
- One Fits All: It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, and countless more.
