Struggling with a camera that either looks washed out in daylight or useless after dark, because it's stuck picking just one mode? The Arducam B0270 12MP IMX477 IR-Cut Filter Auto Switch Camera for Raspberry Pi solves exactly that, and it's available on Tech Depot India for Rs 12,253 as a 12-megapixel IMX477 camera with an automatically switching IR-cut filter. See the full listing here: Arducam B0270 12MP IMX477 IR-Cut Filter Auto Switch Camera.
What is the Arducam B0270 IR-Cut Auto Switch Camera?
Here's the problem this camera is built around: a normal daylight camera uses an IR-cut filter to keep colours accurate, but that same filter blocks the infrared light you need for night vision — and a NoIR camera without that filter tends to look washed out or oddly tinted in bright daylight. The Arducam B0270 gets around this with an auto-switching IR-cut filter, which mechanically moves the filter in for daylight shooting and out again for low-light or IR-based capture, so you're not stuck compromising on one or the other. It's built on a 12-megapixel IMX477 sensor.
For the exact switching mechanism, timing and sensor details, see the Arducam B0270 product page.
Arducam B0270 12MP IMX477 IR-Cut Filter Auto Switch Camera for Raspberry Pi projects — what you can build
- A 24-hour security camera that needs to look right in daylight and still see at night
- An outdoor monitoring setup that shouldn't need manual mode switching
- A wildlife camera trap covering both daytime and nighttime activity

- A high-resolution day/night inspection camera for outdoor equipment
- Any build where you were previously choosing between a daylight camera and a NoIR camera and wanted both
How to get started
If the problem you're solving is round-the-clock coverage, start by wiring the camera to your Raspberry Pi's camera port and enabling the camera interface in Raspberry Pi OS, same as any other Pi camera. From there, the part worth reading up on is the auto-switching behaviour itself — how the filter decides when to switch, and whether you need to pair it with an infrared light source for the night-time side of things. That detail is covered on the product page, and it's worth reviewing before you mount the camera somewhere hard to reach.
