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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

IR capabilities are incorrectly advertised

"IR sensitivity with correct lens combination" implies that this camera either has a tunable IR lens or you can easily buy a replacement without an IR filter. 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
  • Great design
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
