Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's an Arduino project camera, nothing more.

I'm not entirely sure what the developer intended as a camera app. If you read the description they have several uses listed. I was going to write a long review but changed my mind. What I'm saying is that the camera works but is very limited in its capabilities. Autofocus - no. not really. The resolution is so high that it cannot be used effectively as a security camera unless used to test the printer as detailed on the Revain website. 1.5 minutes gave me 192MB of storage. with compression that comes with the camera app. It's much better to find a camera that suits your application. It's not worth the time and money.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Almost everything included
