Then a night picture that was using a bright light to cover a larger area where a mouse was caught on camera!. For me, the IR LEDs light up to about 7 feet away and about 6 feet wide. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running motionEyeOS. I also made sure to get a fast microSDHC card so the camera images/movies could be written fast enough. I got this: "SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDHC Memory Card Plus SD Adapter up to 100 MB/s, Class 10, U3, V30, A1-32GB SDSQXCG-032G" That 32GB has plenty of space for me, I also configured motion to upload the movies to Google Drive, and I configured the pictures so that they are being sent to my email whenever motion is detected outside of the "working hours" I set. What is motionEyeOS? "motionEyeOS is a Linux distribution that turns a single-board computer into a video surveillance system. The OS is based on BuildRoot and uses motion as a backend and motionEye for the frontend." No hardware changes or adjustments were required. You can use the Camera LED where "on" causes the IR Filter to be in place (day mode) and "off" causes the IR filter to be removed (night mode). Another option is to use the Python library or run the library as a standalone script (that is what I am doing). Right now I am using CRON to switch between day and night modes at set times, but I may change to a script to do it based on sunrise/sunset later. I got the Python script named CameraLED.

Skyler ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME! *by A***R on February 8, 2019* This camera does actually need the heat sinks. The IR LEDs get extremely hot. I’ve tested this with a Zero W and a pi 3 B. It works very well. I was surprised at how high-quality the picture was. The lens also looks crystal clear and is low distortion. I don’t exactly know how to use the night vision, but I figure it’s pretty good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arducam Day-Night Vision for Raspberry Pi Camera, Automatic IR-Cut Switching All-Day Image All-Model Support, IR LED for Low Light and Night Vision, M12 Lens Interchangeable, OV5647 5MP 1080P - Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Wireless / Bluetooth) 2021 (RPi Zero 2W) - Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2-8 Megapixel,1080p (RPI-CAM-V2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/159461098-day-night-vision-for-raspberry-pi-camera-automatic-ir-cut](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/159461098-day-night-vision-for-raspberry-pi-camera-automatic-ir-cut) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
