New to Raspberry Pi cameras and wondering what "low light" and "HDR" actually mean on a camera module? The ArduCam B0407 2MP IMX462 Color Ultra Low Light STARVIS HDR Camera Module with M12 Lens for Raspberry Pi is priced at Rs 4,777 at Tech Depot India, and it's built to handle both dim scenes and scenes with a big difference between bright and dark areas. You can order the ArduCam B0407 IMX462 Low Light Camera from our store.
What is the ArduCam B0407 IMX462 Low Light Camera?
Let's take the name apart piece by piece. It's a 2MP color camera built around the IMX462 sensor, which uses "STARVIS" technology — a Sony sensor design aimed at capturing usable images with much less light than a typical camera needs. "HDR" (high dynamic range) means it's built to handle scenes where part of the frame is very bright and part is very dark, without losing detail in either. And instead of a fixed lens, it uses an M12 lens mount, so the lens itself can be swapped out for a different one if your project needs a different field of view.
If you're just starting out, don't worry about needing to understand every spec upfront — the B0407 product page lays out the connection and compatibility basics in plain terms.

Choosing the right one for your project
If your project just needs a basic, budget camera in decent daylight, a simple 5MP module like the ones above will be more than enough and easier on your wallet. Reach for the B0407 specifically when lighting is going to be a challenge — nighttime, dusk, mixed indoor/outdoor light, or scenes with strong backlighting — since that's exactly the situation its low-light sensor and HDR capability are meant for. Because it takes an M12 lens, you'll also want to pick a lens with the field of view your project needs, rather than being stuck with whatever ships in the box.
