Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR

The Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR combines a 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 sensor with phase detection autofocus—without an infrared cut filter. This allows the camera to see near-infrared light, making it ideal for night vision applications when paired with IR illumination.

Like the standard Camera Module 3, it features HDR support and autofocus from 10cm to infinity, but with sensitivity to infrared light for low-light and specialised imaging applications.
