“The NoiR is the version of the camera with the Infra Red filter removed, so IR becomes visible in addition to the usual image. Not everyone is going to want that and if you do, then you don't have many options anyway! That said, you're in luck because this is a very nice quality little camera :)”
“I've used this to set up HedgeHogCam - with an Infra-Red floodlight (needs to be a fairly powerful one) I can watch hedgehogs eating the food I put out for them each night.
Works well, and I'm glad I bought it.”
“If only every company had the motivation and drive of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. PiHut had a nicely discounted price when I purchased this, an added bonus. The camera functions exactly as expected, perfectly within parameters, comes with a useful extra in the form of a slip of blue filter plastic. I had to look up why that is included with PiCam NoIR as I received exactly the same addition with the V1 several years ago.

This camera has no infra-red filter on the lens, so depending on your specific project this may not be the ideal PiCam module for you. Maybe buy one of the standard modules too, that way you can experiment.
Great product”
“Purchased to go with my Pi 3 B+ to experiment, amazing clarity. Thinking now of buying Pi zero (W) with smaller camera to use as home security - far cheaper, more storage and more control than off the shelf security cams.”
