Review on πŸ“· MakerFocus Raspberry Pi Camera Module - 8MP Sensor, Wide Angle 160 Degree FoV, Compatible with Raspberry Pi Camera Board V2, Supports Video Recording and High Resolution Still Pictures by Mark Bishop

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The IR stays on all the time, even when the Pi is off, as long as it's still connected to power.

Great little camera, easy to assemble and install. I have a lot of experience with MotioneyeOS and normal cameras, so it was pretty much the same. I installed it on Pi 3/B. It only gets 4 stars because there seem to be light sensors that I'd like to turn off the IR if there's enough light. However, this does not appear to be the case. I tried some commands that I thought might work, but they stayed active not only when the Pi was powered on, but whenever it was connected. Yes, the Pi does not need to be powered on for the IR LEDs to glow. Nevertheless, I recommend it.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Appearance
