📷 Enhance Your Raspberry Pi Zero W: Fisheye Wide Angle 5MP 1080p Night Vision Camera Module Review

I bought this camera with intention to use it to build my own security camera network and I was very satisfied. The included LEDs are great for night vision and are very bright. I originally attempted to build my own setup using 12 IR LEDs in the same light range and they were significantly dimmer and didn't shine as far (aside from being a lot consumed more electricity). When I am ready to add more cameras I will use it again.

This camera serves its intended purpose quite well. The lens has a wider angle than the original Raspberry Pi camera, and the night vision with the LEDs on is pretty good. A bit oversaturated on some surfaces, but not bad. I took a dark photo with the main light off and the room closed when it was night outside so not much light comes through the window. The only thing I don't really like about the camera are the LEDs. faint red glow visible to the naked eye. I'm not sure why that is. But if…

Received this to play with and am very impressed with the image quality both day and night. The images it produces are as good as any security camera I've seen. Especially when taking pictures in the dark. It's also very easy to set up and I've used it with a Raspberry Pi 0W. Now that I know the image quality is very good, I'm inspired to tackle a really serious project.
