The Waveshare Infrared LED Board enhances camera capabilities by adding night vision for low-light conditions. This board features a 3W 850nm infrared LED, designed for compatibility with select Raspberry Pi cameras.
In scenarios like home security or outdoor wildlife monitoring, this board automatically activates the infrared LED when ambient light drops below a set threshold, improving visibility without manual intervention. It's particularly useful for capturing clear images in dim environments, such as at night or in poorly lit areas.
- 3W high-power 850nm infrared LED for effective night vision up to 3 meters.
- Onboard photoresistor to detect ambient light levels accurately.
- Adjustable resistor for customizing the light threshold that triggers the LED.
- 100-degree field of view; use two boards for broader coverage.
- Compatible with RPi Camera (E), RPi Camera (F), and RPi Camera (H) for seamless integration.
- Attaches via screws, utilizing them for both mounting and power supply.
This board suits users needing reliable low-light enhancement for Raspberry Pi projects, though it may increase device heating, suggesting the use of heat sinks for optimal performance.
