The Raspberry Pi camera (Pi Cam) board was first released for sale in May 2013. This first release is equipped with a 5 Megapixel sensor, and connects through a ribbon cable to the CSI connector on the Raspberry Pi. The second release of Raspberry Pi camera board, which is called Pi NoIR, has the same sensor, but without the IR filter. It has capability to see near IR wavelengths (700 – 1000 nm) like a security camera, and of course it is sacrificing the color rendition.
