The best Pi Camera and out of competition.

Several brands sell this identical camera. Of all the Raspberry Pi cameras, I found this to be the only camera that can switch between color for day and infrared (IR) for night vision. This is the best option. This camera uses a built-in photocell to instantly switch from day (color) to night (infrared) at the right light level at dusk. No setting is required to use this function. Comes with two plug in Infrared (IR) LEDs which work great but there are only two so they won't light up your…

Not happy with it, documentation needed

Response to MakerFocus Raspberry Pi4 Camera IR, Raspberry Pi4 Camera Night Vision Fisheye Camera 5mp OV5647 IR-CUT Automatic switching between day and night vision. very happy with the purchase of this camera. I bought a camera with IR_Spots specifically for a project that requires day and night (no light) photography. First, the camera works great in day mode. The camera does not work well in low light conditions. There is a very faint image and I suspect the IR spots will need to be adjusted…

Pros
  • There's something to that
Cons
  • Vulgarity

No automatic day/night switching but still a good camera

I ran the camera for Octoprint and the day quality seemed pretty good compared to my Logitech C270 webcam (low standard resolution). be. There was some artifacting every now and then, but I wasn't overly concerned as it was mainly used for checking my 3D prints. However, it will never go into night mode even if the IR LED is on. I've looked at other brands that look the same and have a third automatic sensor under the camera lens. So I believe this contains the wrong information as I didn't…

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • Long wait

So I originally bought the non-wide version of this camera and wasn't a fan of how it looked when zoomed in. My entire printer platform could not fit in the frame. The quality was uh (I don't know what I know now.), it seemed to prefer IR mode, and then a few days ago the quality got really pixelated. I just ordered this wide angle version and when it arrived and I installed it I noticed it was still very pixelated. So I ordered a new ribbon cable and installed it, but the problem was still not

  • Decent performance

Live Streaming on Octoprint - Plug and Play!

I bought this with the intention of streaming video from my Octoprint 3D printer while my printer sits in the dark abyss of my utility room. You'll have to assemble the camera when you first get it, but that's not rocket science (which is good - there are no instructions). The screws are only tiny, so be careful not to lose anything. ALSO - make sure you use the correct screws to mount the camera if you bought it with a stand - I made a mistake building the camera and then realized I swapped…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Clarity
