Review on πŸ“· Arducam Mini Module Camera Shield - 2 Megapixels OV2640 Lens | Compatible with Arduino UNO Mega2560 Board and Raspberry Pi Pico by Dana Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

IR capabilities are incorrectly advertised

"IR sensitivity with the right lens combination" implies that this camera either has a tunable IR lens or you can easily buy a replacement that doesn't have an IR filter Has. Neither is true - the camera comes with a fixed IR filter, the documentation doesn't mention IR lens products anywhere, and Revain and Digikey don't show any interchangeable lenses for this camera. It does not have standard IR illumination and cannot be upgraded to do so without special "knowledge" sources or a custom lens. Very upset that they included this obviously misleading line so prominently in their product description. EDIT: Thanks for correcting your description.

Pros
  • There's something in there
Cons
  • Trivia
