## Overview

The Arducam HQ Camera for Raspberry Pi features a 12.3MP Sony IMX477 sensor delivering superior image quality and 1080p video. Its automatic IR-Cut filter adapts to lighting conditions for consistent day and night performance. Fully compatible across all Raspberry Pi models, it comes with essential accessories for quick setup, making it ideal for AI, machine vision, and advanced monitoring projects.

## Description

This cammera module uses the same 12MP IMX477 image sensor as the RPi High Quality Camera, but offers a mechanical IR cut-off filter switched automatically based on light condition. This IMX477 camera module not only offers sensitivity to infrared, but also keeps the natural feeling during daylight. It's fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models with a camera connector.

Review: IR-Cut too sensitive - The IR-Cut sensor is too sensitive, with the on and off thresholds very close together resulting in it "bouncing" quickly back and forth at dusk. In addition, it is very hard to find a focus and aperture setting that accomodates both daylight and IR lighting well which also undermines the point of automatic switching. It seems like the switching can be unplugged however, so I might try that to "lock" it into one mode or the other. Also note that you probably want a Pi 5 for this if you plan on keeping the footage at all - hardware encoders on Pi's can work, but give a very blocky compression. Software encoding is much better quality, but really pushes Pi CPUs on earlier models. But, this does at least give some way to optionally filter IR light on a Raspberry Pi compatible camera.
Review: I love this thing! Easy to setup, nice and small. I plan on printing a how to mount it and another Raspberry Pi to my telescope.

Overpriced and take so much processing since it is raw data. Does not have ISP.
