Raspberry Piv2.1 8 MP 1080p Camera Module

Working well on my rpi 5, was drawn by the very low price for a 8mp camera...cable included not suitable for rpi 5 or zero. It wasn't listed as having one so can't complain , especially considering the price.

So as I've said in my review for the Pi I recently purchased, I wanted to set up my own wireless IP camera at the front of my house, that I'm able to view live anywhere.The quality of the Pi camera is good during the day, nice clear images and I have it set to record 1080p at 25fps straight onto my home server. Night quality isn't great, but if you crank the ISO up to 800 and the brightness up a bit, it sort of compensates for this a bit if there is some lighting (street lights etc), if not then you won't see a thing - pretty standard for cameras with an IR filter. If you are looking for a true night vision camera, you'd need the NoIR cam with some IR lighting, but as this gives colour variations thoughout the day I decided to go for the standard one instead, and just use a floodlight if needed.Great little camera, works great with the RPI Cam Web interface!

Great little camera, however it is not cheap!At this price, I would expect it to come with the addapter to use with the Pi ZeroWe used this camera to get some photos from a satelite we launched as part of our university coursework, and it proformed very well. The only think I would say is that the camera comes focused to a few metrers (I deal foir indoors) but we needed to refocus the lense for use at futher distancesNever the less. a very good, small camera for the Pi

Was a bit skeptical for the price. Ordered to replace a module 3 I broke being heavy handed. Worked well for intended use of octoprint.

great camera for raspberry pi

I've been looking into making more use of the Raspberry Pi's I've acquired but not madetoo much use of. So my latest project has been looking into building a multi camera automatedhome surveillance system. The prototype so far only makes use of one set up with this camera.However I do have plans to integrate several more cameras into the equation.The camera is a good quality camera during day time especially. The images are clear and it canrecord at around 1080p with a framerate of 25fps.

This is an excellent quality camera for your Pi. This improved version is better than the last in terms of low light performance and overall quality (8MP vs 5MP). The stills from this are sharp and in perfect focus. The 1080p HD video is also excellent. The price is on the high side and almost as much as the Pi itself but devices with lenses will never be cheap.

I am not a camera expert but I knew that the image quality was horrible when I turned on my Zero 2 W running Motioneye OS. The image was extremely blurry and was basically unusable. After some research I read somewhere that the fixed focus can be changed as the cameras often come with poorly configured focus from the factory.Sure enough by zooming in on my phone I could see some silicon glue holding the lens from rotating. I removed it with a pair of sharp twizers and rotated a a few degrees evert time until the image was as clear as it could get. It made all the difference in the world and the video is now very sharp and I can make out a lot of detail.Happy overall after this fix.
