DFRobot night vision camera for HUSKYLENS 2 - 850 nm, 2 MP, 91 degrees

DFRobot HUSKYLENS 2 IR Night Vision Camera Module (850 nm)

This interchangeable lens adds night vision to HUSKYLENS 2. It transmits both visible light at 650 nm and infrared light at 850 nm. Combined with an 850 nm infrared illuminator, the camera delivers clear black-and-white images even in complete darkness.

The key point is that HUSKYLENS 2's image recognition works with these images just as it does in daylight. This means objects, faces, and even custom-trained features can be recognized around the clock, without any visible illumination. 850 nm infrared light is practically invisible to the human eye and most animals.

Highlights

• Infrared night vision at 850 nm for image recognition in complete darkness
• Lens transmits visible light at 650 nm and infrared light at 850 nm
• GC2093 image sensor with 2 megapixels
• Wide field of view: 91 degrees diagonal, 83 degrees horizontal, and 51 degrees vertical
• Recommended capture range of 1 cm to 150 cm

Applications

• Observing nocturnal animals without disturbing them with visible light
• 24/7 monitoring of storage areas, workshops, and yards
• Robotics projects that need to navigate or detect objects even in dark environments
• Experimental setups in darkened rooms
• Classroom projects on infrared, the light spectrum, and the limits of human perception
• Long-term observations where daytime and nighttime images need to remain comparable
