Avoid and move on to Raspberry Pi HQ Camera

Broken junk that doesn't work. I had to spend my money on a Raspberry Pi HQ camera. Whatever additional features Arducam has to offer, it's not worth the hassle. So following all the lettwr instructions I hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi and a few times when the camera showed anything at all in the preview software the image was horribly underexposed. And when I stopped the preview command line application and tried to start it again, I got a "4100" error when the Pi was not connected to the camera. I had to reboot for the camera to even connect to the preview utility a second time. And now the camera won't connect at all even after I followed all the troubleshooting steps. As a software developer, I've noticed that the Arducam code is also poorly maintained, which doesn't inspire confidence in their product.

Pros

Built-in IR Filter
