“I bought this camera to have a go at making an adapted version of the My Nature Watch device and had a brilliant time learning. I would definitely recommend to anyone with even a passing interest!”
“This was bought to create a CCTV camera using MotioneyeOS. Please note I have not used this device with Raspbian.
I am very pleased with the camera module, it has good image quality for the purpose it was bought for and is a really small device. The Camera has capabilities over and above what you seem to be able to achieve with the Pi, but it works surprisingly well.
It is a shame the Pi foundation chose to connect the Camera through a fiddly and vulnerable ribbon cable, but it has been that way since the start it seems.”
“I have installed easily the camera on the socket and then started to look for information about its functioning.
While the information are present and sometimes consistent, I could not make it work. Some clear advice about the software and where to find it would probably make a big difference.
After spending fruitlessly half of a day with frustrating results, I have put everything in a box and stored for a day with more patience and luck”
“The camera was very easy to fit despite my banana fingers and worked first time with no complications. It is now being used with ALPR to record registrations into a MySQL database to simulate a entry system. Cracking product and I will probably get more for a facial recognition system project. Fast delivery and clean powerful branding on the box.”
