Build with it
Project ideas for the Waveshare IMX219-77IR camera. Each link opens Soldr with the prompt filled in; Soldr assigns the pins, checks power and shows how to wire every part.
- Night-time shelf camera: The wiki says the camera supports night vision and works like other Raspberry Pi cameras. Use it in your own room and tell anyone who could be filmed.
- Pi 5 camera preview: A Raspberry Pi 5 needs the 22-pin cable the wiki says is supplied. Learning project; point it at objects, not people, unless they agree.
- Pet corner time-lapse: Pictures at night use the infrared-capable sensor. Keep the camera away from areas where people could be filmed without notice.
Common mistakes
- Using a Raspberry Pi 5 with the wrong cable: it needs the supplied 22-pin cable (source: link, Test with Compute Module)
- Plugging the Jetson Nano cable the wrong way round: the metal side faces the heatsink (source: link, Test with Jetson Nano)
- Reddish pictures on a Jetson Nano: Waveshare supplies a camera override file to fix colour (source: link, Test with Jetson Nano)
Not covered by the official source
- The model name says 77 while the wiki lists a 79.3 degree diagonal field of view; the wiki's own page name is IMX219-77IR.
- The wiki does not say what the IR in the name means (filter or illumination); no current draw is given.
