📷 High-Resolution Camera Kit for Raspberry Pi: 2x 5MP 1080p OV5647 Sensor Modules with Accessories Review

For the money this is a very good deal; two complete kits (cameras, cables, mounts) for $20. You'll need to have fairly good manual dexterity to assemble the holder, but do it slowly and carefully and you'll be fine. It helps if you install one screw without the side panels, install the side panel on the other side with two screws but leave them slightly loose so you can loosen the first screw and then attach the side and base panels and then the last screw. and then tighten all. However, I…

Confirmed to work well with Raspberry Pi 3B. Just plug it in and get started: you just have to enable it in the Raspi configuration. The plastic case/stand requires nimble fingers but shouldn't present any difficulties for those who have played with Lego. Good price for a 5 megapixel camera. The kit included two camera modules and two mounting kits.

cameras are great, they work well with my projects but the case for them sucks. Broke on day one but didn't return because the price for 2 cameras was a good deal.

Camera quality can be expected from the OV5647 camera sensor, if you want a cheap camera for Pi and understand the limitations of the camera sensor, based on comparative reviews, it's good value for Money . In low light or variable light conditions the sensor is a mixed bag, if you are observing a well lit area or as some others are using these cameras to monitor their 3D printers this will do the trick. I found the low light performance to be slightly better than a real webcam. It takes a…

It took 45 minutes to set up the first stand. I had a hard time holding the assembly together while adding parts and tightening the nuts on the bolts. The second time I spent 15 minutes and used my screwdriver (ifixit set) to hold the nut while tightening it with the screwdriver that came with the kit. Attached is my revision for assembly. By fitting the pieces together and loosely connecting the two screws on top of the camera, a support base can be added to the legs. And then the screws can…

It may take more hands and fewer fingers to assemble the mount than you, but it's devilishly simple and it works. The nuts and bolts are small, I had to wet my fingertip to lift the nuts and then hold them while tightening the bolt with the tool provided. It is important that the cameras are cheap and work. appendix plus. Perhaps the camera's connection to the circuit board on the second camera came loose during assembly and it didn't work at first. After taking it apart and seeing that, the…
