The autofocus and wide dynamic range are supported by the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm). Uses the standard 15-pin ribbon cable; a longer cable may be needed for larger enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the ribbon cable to the CSI port with the blue tab facing the Ethernet port (on Pi 4\/5). Ensure the cable is inserted fully and the connector is locked. No additional power is required; the camera draws up to 300mA via the CSI interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.

If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the Module 3 Wide is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 using the latest OS. You may need a new ribbon cable with smaller connectors for the Pi 5's camera ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes it work with night vision or infrared light?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard Module 3 Wide does not have an IR filter removed. For IR sensitivity, you would need a NoIR version. This model is optimized for daylight photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this for live streaming with motion detection?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. With autofocus and 1080p50 video, it's excellent for real-time streaming. Combine with OpenCV or MotionEye OS for motion-triggered recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
