Ready to use

I bought this to use with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and MotionEyeOS as a motion-activated video camera. The camera worked out of the box, no complaints. I have no experience with the official Raspberry Pi camera, so I can't compare them. I chose this model because of the IR lighting as mine is in a large closet which is dark most of the time. The camera works well when the cabinet lights are off or on. It didn't take me long to find out which of our cats was defecating in this toilet. I had to change the default MotionEyeOS settings to get optimal video, but these software issues are not related to this product.
