If you've come across the term "NoIR camera" and want a simple explanation, the Adafruit 3100 Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Board v2 - 8 Megapixels is priced at Rs 5,836 on Tech Depot India, and you can read more on its product page.
What is the Adafruit NoIR camera board?
Let's start with the name. "NoIR" simply means "no infrared filter" — most cameras include a filter to block infrared light so daytime photos look natural, but a NoIR camera leaves that filter out. This version is Adafruit's V2 board with an 8-megapixel sensor, made for the Raspberry Pi's camera port.
Because the infrared filter is missing, this type of camera board is typically chosen for setups that use infrared light rather than a regular room lamp. If you're not sure whether you need a NoIR version or a standard camera for your project, that's worth thinking through before ordering — and you can check the product page for connector and compatibility details.
