Review on 📸 Raspberry Pi 4B Camera Kit: IR Camera Module with Holder and Cable - 5MP OV5647 Webcam - Day and Night Vision Switching - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B, 3B+, 2B+, Zero and Zero W by Jordan Weakland

I bought this device with the intention of streaming video from my Octoprint 3D printer while my printer sits in the dark abyss of my utility room. After the first receipt, the camera needs to be assembled. it is, but it's not rocket science (which is good - no instructions). The screws are only tiny, so be careful not to lose anything. ALSO - make sure you use the correct screws to mount the camera if you bought it with a stand - I made a mistake building the camera and then realized I swapped the screws and put the stand in had to take up the overall structure. A longer ribbon cable works well - to be honest, I would have wished for even longer, but the planned 50 cm is enough for now. Once I connected the ribbon cable to the correct place on the Raspberry Pi (user error) I was done. I really can't ask for more. I'm working at 640x480 at 10 frames per second - the camera supports higher resolutions than advertised, but I don't have the bandwidth to stream without severe stuttering. Maybe I could do it with a wired ethernet connection, but I'm lazy and don't need super quality in the stream. Now I personally ordered a camera with a tripod. Unfortunately, the camera in its current state is quite heavy on the front and the stand is useless unless They use glue on the bottom. I'm not a big fan of sticky bases because I like to move the camera whenever I feel like it.
