Night vision camera module for Raspberry Pi

Light up the night with this night vision camera module with infra-red LEDs, for Raspberry Pi!

Available with ether a standard (70°) or a wide-angle (160°) lens, this camera has IR LEDs that allow the camera to see in the dark without producing visible light.

The camera itself has the same 5MP sensor as our other Pi Zero camera modules but it has a full-sized cable connector and two camera cables so you can easily attach it to either a Raspberry Pi Zero W or a full-sized Raspberry Pi. There's also a handy little lens cap to protect the lens when not in use.

Note that the infra-red LEDs on these camera modules generate around 1W of heat when in use, as they're pretty powerful to provide good illumination. If you're using the module in an enclosure, then ensure that there's adequate ventilation to keep the LEDs and your Raspberry Pi cool.

Works really well. Have to say that I might get some 1mm as the 0.5mm is quite thin for my needs (mainly wiring between a uC PCB and I2C devices with single core wire). I guess the 0.5mm would be more appropriate for soldering surface mount items.

This solder is good if your joint location is not a large copper plane, in that case make sure to heat the surface adequately before applying the solder and you'll be fine.

I tried the 0.5mm but prefer this 1mm. What I do need is a new iron more suitable for lead free solder.... Another good product from Pimoroni.

Takes a bit of getting used to if you're used to lead solder. Dispatched in good time and worked well to solder a GPIO header on to a Raspberry Pi Zero.

I hope other people will become aware of fair supply chains that can be developed within the ICT and electronics industries. Use of this product will be a small step towards a fairer supply chain.
