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. Note This is an IMX477 camera designed by Arducam, please use the libcamera stack. You need to modify the config.txt file and add configuration lines according to the camera type before using it. sudo nano /boot/config.txt add the line: dtoverlay=imx477 To override the automatic camera detection, Bullseye users will also need to delete the entry or change it to value 0. camera_auto_detect=1 update: camera_auto_detect=0 For Pi0-3 bullseye users, you also need to enable glamor acceleration sudo raspi-config Navigate to Advanced options→Glamor→enabled Tips: The information above is for reference, for details, please check the manual that comes with the parcel to find the link to the Arducam Wiki.

Package includes 1 × 12.3MP IMX477 IR-CUT camera module 1 × 6mm focal length CS-mount camera lens 1 x 300mm/11.8inch 22pin FPC cable for Pi Zero&W 1 x 300mm/11.8inch 15pin to 22pin FPC cable for Pi A&B series SPECS Review: Home made telescope camera - 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. Review: Works. Doesn't include IR illuminator. - * Camera works. * Doesn't have IR illuminator built in (like an older 5MP version does). Without something to provide IR light the image is just black in IR mode at night. If you want a ready solution, you may want to get the older 5MP one. * Needed additional drivers (or configuration?) from manufacturer website (desertcart doesn't allow external links but Google can get you to a thread called "All white images on B0272 IMX477 autofocus on Bookworm"). * Automatic IR cut works, but has an audible click (e.g. gently tap your fingernail on a hard desk). * Automatic IR cut needs some debouncing. At a certain time of day it just flips back and forth for a couple of minutes. * Afaik, there doesn't appear to be a good ready-made solution available for mounting this camera. You may need to 3D print something or build something. ## Features - For Raspberry Pi HQ Camera: This camera module offers higher resolution, up to 12MP, which can deliver better image quality than 8MP.

The command rpocam-still has many options to get the picture exactly the way you need it. The focus is sensitive. The ir sensor got stuck on mine and I couldn't get it to take a normal picture for several days and then somehow it got unstuck. I have a replacement now and so far so good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arducam for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, 12.3MP IMX477 Camera Module with CS-Mount Lens, Automatic IR-Cut Switching All-Day Image, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, 4 Model B, Pi 3/3B+, and Pi Zero 2W - Arducam 8-50mm C-Mount Zoom Lens for IMX477 Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, with C-CS Adapter, Industrial Telescope Lens - Arducam CSI to USB UVC Camera Adapter Board for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, 12.3MP IMX477 Camera Board --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/456474129-for-raspberry-pi-hq-camera-12-3mp-imx477-camera-module](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/456474129-for-raspberry-pi-hq-camera-12-3mp-imx477-camera-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
