Review on πŸ“· Enhanced Night Vision Camera Module for Raspberry Pi - 5MP OV5647 Webcam with 1080p Video Recording by William Chavez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good camera/LED module with some limitations.

Not bad with a few caveats. Focus is key. It took some time to focus. The image seems to go from blurry to more or less sharp at about 1/4 turn of the lens. It was quite wide for me and the lens dangled a bit at this point. I'll try a wrap or two of teflon tape to see if I can get it in place, otherwise I expect it to move. It has color but looks very washed out in daylight, maybe camera settings, I don't know yet and we'll see how it behaves in the dark. The assembly is a challenge :-). Found a mount for these things on Thingverse and printed them out, it would be nice if there was a case for the camera, Pi and PIR module, but you solve that yourself. Will update when I try. in the dark. You need to fake it first as the PIR module seems to have died. All this to say that this is a good device for its intended purpose. Raspberry Pi
