Review on πŸ“· 5MP Camera Module for Raspberry Pi 4/3/2/Zero W by LoveRPi by Michael Hogate

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Totally acceptable

For the price this is a fantastic camera module. Image quality is pretty good when the device isn't too crowded. I'm running this on a MotionEyeos Connected Pi Zero W. I tried it alone and the quality was decent, but the board could only run at 5fps 720p consistently and it got a bit choppy. Everything works much better on a system served by a hub, I set it to 15 frames per second, the same resolution due to the device's distance from my home. It works well and outperforms the standard security cameras in my house, at least in terms of image quality. I wish I had switched to pi from the start as the cost of the module is a bit cheaper but much more customizable.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Embarrassing
