ArduCAM B0270 Raspberry Pi IR-CUT HQ Camera with CS-Mount Lens User Manual
This camera module uses the same 12MP IMX477 image sensor as the Raspberry Pi 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.
CONNECT THE CAMERA
- Insert the connector and make sure it is facing the Raspberry Pi MIPI port. Don’t bend the flex cable and make sure it is firmly inserted.
- Push the plastic connector down while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place

OPERATING THE CAMERA
libcamera-still is an advanced command line tool for capturing still images with the IMX477 Camera Module. libcamera-still -t 5000 -o test.jpg This command will give you a live preview of the camera module, and after 5 seconds, the camera will capture a single still image. The image will be stored in your home folder and named test.jpg. -t 5000: Live preview for 5 seconds. -o test.jpg: take a picture after the preview is over and save it as test.jpg If you only want to see the live preview, use the following command: libcamera-still -t 0
Note: This camera module supports the latest Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye (released on Jan 28th, 2022) and libcamera apps, not for the previous Raspberry Pi OS (Legacy) users.
