Having great megapixels and wide lenses is always great, but not all projects can benefit from those features. Sometimes all you need is a low-cost camera to see better at night or in low-light situations. In this case, the Raspberry Pi Infrared Camera Module is the best option available. This is not an official Raspberry Pi camera, but it was built like it so you can be sure that it is fully compatible with the device. The official Camera Module V3 is made for both RPi first-timers and veterans, while you are trying to keep up with the foundation, these accessories below are ready to elevate whatever you are planning to the highest possible level. A magnetic hatch on the top of the case provides access to the GPIO, a colour coded GPIO with all the pin references printed on the case! HATs can be used with the case but you may need to use a header extension to ensure that the board clears the aluminium top of the Argon One M.2. Just next to this GPIO hatch is a small slot useful to route the Pi Camera and official display cables through. If you are using a Raspberry Pi 4, you may realise that with a more powerful processor, it runs rather hot! We have a range of enclosures that will prevent thermal issues; we recommend the Little Bird Armour Case with Dual Cooling Fan! For the best picture quality, a Raspberry Pi 4 is the perfect choice. That said, you’ll get good results from a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as well, and it’ll be easier to install. Whichever you choose, we recommend using the Raspberry Pi Lite (Legacy) OS. The project uses the raspivid tool, support for which is limited in the latest version of the OS. The Legacy ‘Buster’ image still has full compatibility. You can find it in Raspberry Pi Imager under ‘Raspberry Pi OS (Other)’. Set up Wi-Fi, and make sure everything is up-to-date with sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y upgrade. 02. Install and configure your camera
It's best practice to place your Raspberry Pi into an enclosure. This will minimise hazards and accidents, and lots of cases just look cool! Either way, there's no real excuse to not finally start (and finish) the Raspberry Pi project I've been pondering –after I've finished my Sonos Album Art Display, of course.
The Naturebytes case
This camera, like many others in the space, also uses the 8-megapixel OV5647 sensor. It’s a low price and reliable sensor with a vast list of compatibilities so you won’t have any issues installing the camera.
But none of those could match the satisfaction of building my own digital camera, and that's never been more attainable thanks to the Raspberry Pi and modules like this new 64MP Pi Hawk-eye Camera. Perhaps I would ultimately opt for Raspberry Pi's earlier High-Quality Camera Module instead, thanks to its built-in lens mount and the availability of rather fetching cases like the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Case (above). The Camera Module 2 can be used to take high-definition video, as well as stills photographs. It’s easy to use for beginners, but has plenty to offer advanced users if you’re looking to expand your knowledge. There are lots of examples online of people using it for time-lapse, slow-motion, and other video cleverness. You can also use the libraries we bundle with the camera to create effects.
7. Quad-Camera Multiplexer & Synchronizer HAT
While we’re underwhelmed by the official Raspberry Pi Case for Raspberry Pi 4, it may protect the Pi but it fails to keep the Pi cool even with the well designed cooling provided by the official fan kit. The Pi Foundation’s official case for Pi Zero is an excellent choice. The plastic case is made from red and white plastic that match the official Raspberry Pi color scheme so purists will be happy with the aesthetic. The Raspberry Pi Infrared Camera Module is an incredibly powerful and versatile tool for taking photos and recording video. Whether you’re looking to capture stunning natural shots or take your project’s infrared capabilities to a whole new level, this camera module has got you covered. Now we have a working video stream, we need to make sure it always starts at boot time. A service file already exists for the server; we just need to change one line. Open the file with: sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/
