📷 5MP Raspberry Pi Camera Module with Adjustable Focus Len for Raspberry Pi Model A/B/B+, RPi 2B, Pi 3 B+, and Pi 4B - 1080p Sensor OV5647 Webcam Review

It worked great and didn't require any assembly except for attaching the ribbon cable. The price corresponds to the quality. To attach the cable, remember that the pins on the tape are pointing towards the circuit board. No autofocus, just manual. While that's true for all cameras of this type, it's okay. Compared to a similar camera I bought (IR with illuminator) this camera assembly (no need to fiddle with small screws to screw on the IR illuminator) was good but the downside of this camera…

Poor quality, resistors fell off the board. The LEDs have overheated and burned out. There are cheaper options out there that should be better because it was a sad waste of my money and time and unfortunately I don't think I can get it back. Dude, I'm doing you a favor, just keep going, thanks.

Bought to install a 3D printer. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but my bench tests show it's of decent quality and the integration with the Rpi was straightforward. It seems to do a pretty good job on low-light shots. The lens can be focused for close-up or long-distance use.

Image quality is terrible, focal length is about 8 inches. Anything else worsens the quality. Poor consistency of the product. I bought four of these and no two offer the same picture quality even with the same setup and configuration. I will return them all.

I am building a multi-system security system Raspberry Pi Zero W. I chose this camera for a device to look at the front door and patio door of my house. I have the block running but haven't adjusted it to its final position yet, but the block works fine when tested. The picture is clear and the video is more than adequate for the purpose. It was also an interesting learning experience.
