Questions about Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 NoIR

No, no adapter is required. The camera can be connected directly. However, the cable may be connected incorrectly. The cable has contacts at both ends on only one side (front/rear). https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en...

To connect the camera to a Raspberry Pi 5, you do not need a special RASP CAM FPC 20/30/50 camera cable. The standard cable supplied with the camera should be sufficient as the Raspberry Pi 5 models have the same camera connector as other Raspberry Pi models that are not Zero. However, Raspberry Pi Zero models require a special cable due to their smaller connector.

I use Kemo; not very bright but more than sufficient for my needs (monitoring a cat flap from a distance of about 2 m) Kemo Infrarot-Scheinwerfer Baustein
