Great camera module for your maker projects
Firstly, don’t buy this expecting to plug it into your USB port and use as a webcam. You could, if you have the correct level of experience, use it as the basis for a fully-functioning webcam, but it’s intended for tinkerers, coders and makers who need a camera module for their electronics projects. It would be great for someone developing a piece of electronics with something like a Raspberry Pi, but it’s not intended for beginners. No instructions were included, and obviously this is intended for people with a degree of experience. The image quality is excellent, even in low light, and 50fps was easily achieved as long as the scene was sufficiently lit, making this a really good option for someone needing a camera module for their maker projects.

Capture Every Detail
Pros:High-Quality Sensor (IMX291): The IMX291 sensor is known for its excellent low-light performance, delivering clear and detailed images even in dimly lit environments.High Frame Rate (50fps): The 50fps capability ensures smooth video capture, reducing motion blur and providing a better experience for video calls, streaming, or recording.Full HD 1080P Resolution: The camera offers 1080P Full HD resolution, which is ideal for clear and sharp video output on modern displays.Wide Compatibility: Compatible with Windows, Android, and Linux, making it versatile for various setups, whether on a laptop, desktop, or embedded system.USB 3.0 Interface: The USB 3.0 interface ensures fast data transfer, reducing latency and providing a more responsive video feed.Wide 100-Degree Lens: The wide-angle lens allows for more coverage, making it suitable for group video calls or capturing more of the background in a single frame.Low Illumination Performance: The camera is designed to perform well in low light, making it suitable for environments where lighting is not optimal.Cons:Niche Application: The cameraâs advanced features may be overkill for casual users, making it more suited to professionals or those with specific needs (e.g., surveillance, scientific applications).Price Point: High-quality sensors and features might come with a higher price tag compared to standard webcams, which could be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers.No Built-In Microphone: If the camera lacks a built-in microphone, users would need a separate audio solution, adding to the overall setup complexity.Bulkier Design: Depending on the model, the camera might be bulkier compared to typical consumer webcams, which could be less aesthetically pleasing or portable.Learning Curve: Advanced features and settings might require some technical knowledge to fully utilize, which could be daunting for less tech-savvy users.Limited Software Support: While compatible with multiple operating systems, there may be limited software support or customization options compared to more mainstream webcams.USB 3.0 Requirement: The need for a USB 3.0 port might be a limitation for older computers that only have USB 2.0, impacting performance if connected to a slower port.

A High Quality USB Camera More Suited to Use in Projects than as a Normal Webcam
The design of this camera and its mounting bracket make it more suitable for use by serious electronics hobbyists and in industrial applications and it should not be mistaken for a normal web-cam that is easy to attach to the top of a monitor or laptop.The camera comprises a lens assembly mounted on a single printed circuit board enclosed in a small steel box.Connection to the camera is by a fixed wire that is long, thick and inflexible, terminating in a USB-A plug.The camera is not suitable for outdoor use or in areas with damp and dusty conditions. There is no attempt to waterproof, or dust-proof the housing, especially where the cable enters. There is also no stress relief for the cable and after passing through the square hole in the back panel it is free to move about. An 8-pin plug connects the cable to the board and as USB only requires four conductors the purpose of the other four, which obviously contribute to the thickness and inflexibility of the wire, is unexplained. I presume they are not connected in the USB plug. I have included a photograph of the plug and socket so someone with the requisite knowledge will know what connections are available; âGNDâ, âDFâ, âDMâ and â5Vâ are the four USB lines, âRXPâ, âRXNâ, âTXPâ and âTXNâ are still to be determined.This is where a comprehensive set of instructions and data sheets would be helpful, but none are provided. I have added pictures of the meagre instructions that accompanied the camera – the pages are numbered as Amazon will mix them up.I intend using the camera with a Raspberry Pi for an upcoming project. That will be some time in the future so I tested it on my old Windows 7 PC. After connecting the USB lead the computer downloaded some drivers from Microsoft Update and when I opened the camera with Zoomâs video set-up it worked, producing acceptable colour pictures. I found I needed to connect the camera directly to a USB socket from the motherboard, it would not produce a picture via a powered hub, just a grey screen – I have yet to find an explanation for this.I am going to have to search for a lot more information about this camera before I can use it in my project. I think physical paperwork, or at lease links to PDFâs that can be downloaded and printed, should be freely available for a product costing as much as this.

Excellent quality product.
This camera is not for people wanting a webcam, this is a camera for makers, one you can mount to any project/prototype and then take it off and use it again and again for any project that needs a camera in design phase.It’s robust and has an easy mounting system, so you can basically buy just one of these and reuse it over and over.The camera quality is pretty good, and gives a nice clear image, even at lower light levels and the 50fps is pretty realistic, but in the higher light settings only.I really like this and have used it mounted to robot powered by a rpi to wander around collecting facial recognition data and it worked superbly.
