This is one of the most popular camera modules for Raspberry Pi, it is 5 Mega Pixel and 130° wide angle fisheye lens (without lens the FOV is 72° only). The camera is based on high quality OmniVision OV5647 CMOS image sensor, and compatible with all Raspberry-pi versions.
This module is with built-in IR CUT lens and 2 LED lights, it works both during day time and at night ( or in dark condition, poor light conditions, etc), LED lights will trun on automatically in dark conditions.

How to Use the infrared led module
Adjust the adjustable resistor to set a proper ambient light threshold, which toggles the infrared LED automatically. When ambient light is lower than threshold value, the infrared LED is on and vice versa.
