The Standard and NoIR Camera Module Kits

If you want to provide your Raspberry Pi with the power of High Definition Virtual Reality video these DesignSpark camera modules and lenses are just what you have been looking for. Both camera modules offer a full HD experience (1920x1080) and incorporate a Sony IMX219PQ sensor, which is a CMOS active pixel type with a square pixel array and 8.08M of effective pixels. They are both fixed focus, however, you can adjust the focus using the mounting bezel if required.

Both Module kits are supplied pre-assembled and contain the Raspberry Pi V2 camera, an M12 mount and a 220Ëš fisheye lens. These two cameras enable you to create great Virtual Reality video, day or night (model depending) and you only need to shoot once to produce half-sphere imagery and by using a converting website you can experience your movies in VR!

What’s the difference between the two camera module kits?

(184-3079) - RP-VC1, this camera module is ideal for daytime video and photography and has a 220Ëš, fisheye IR cut filter lens fitted.

(184-3078) - RP-VC1N is the NoIR variant, designed primarily for night-time photography or video and comes with a 220Ëš, fisheye lens fitted with a blue light filter.

Note: An infrared illuminator will be required for effective night time photography.

These quality camera modules will work with all model variants of the Raspberry Pi and are also suitable for general video shooting and photography creation via your Raspberry Pi when used with the multitude of lenses that can be found further down the page. You are sure to find the perfect camera and lens combination to fulfil your Raspberry Pi video and photography needs!
