Raspberry Pi 5Mp AGP Gddr3 Camera Board Module (Pack Of 1)

Best quality camera I have ever seen in this price range

good camera but the box was crumbled.

I bought this module for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running the current 64-bit version of the official OS and could not make it work out-of-the-box. I almost returned the module suspecting a hardware defect, but then learned by hit-and-trial over the next couple of days that the current Debian Bookworm based OS has removed the "legacy camera" support. The module worked as expected on the 32-bit legacy OS after enabling the "legacy camera" support through the command line configuration tool.

I personally think this is really good deal for people who know what they are doing. But for the people who don't know, i want to say that setting this up is not as easy as it seems. If you managed to do it properly, then congrats. But be warned that you should never ever plug this into the Raspberry Pi when it is turned on.

The camera itself is as you expected. Installation is easy but the cable is not fit for raspberry pi 5. Quality is fine as per the price.

Don’t go for it.. after purchasing. I tried it on my raspberry 4B, but still it is not detecting. I have tried all means and options but was of no use.

Very nice product and works fine with raspberry Pi 4 and even with raspberry Pi 3 as well.

I bought it for my project on home security system and only used it to capture images. The image quality was good considering the price. But the real problem is you should be careful while connecting it to Pi. Remember to power off the Pi before connection. If not then you'll damage the sensor and then it's just useless. Remember to turn off Pi before connection!!!! 🙂 Coz I roasted my camera by not turning off the PI

100% recomendable, envío super rápido. La cámara me ha sorprendido por la facilidad de instalación en raspberry pi y con una calidad muy buena aun con baja iluminación. Dispone de un led rojo como indicador de estar en funcionamiento. En algún foro habia leido algún problema de enfoque, pero en mi caso esta perfectamente enfocada la imagen.

Ormai il raspberry non è più una novità, comunque è sempre piacevole ritrovarsi con un oggetto essenziale, pratico e funzionale, soprattutto ad un prezzo decisamente accettabile ed alla portata di tutti. Il funzionamento di questo modulo è ineccepibile, semplice e veloce da installare e con una resa efficace. Dal momento che va installata sul Raspberry Pi, è consigliato avere un minimo di conoscenze del sistema Linux, o almeno avere qualche amico che in caso di necessità possa aiutare per riuscire a fare quello che vogliamo. Ottimo in tutto.

Works fine. HD quality just as good as any pocket HD camera these days (and I mean that in a good way). Although the frame rate on a PI is too slow to catch a cold, so you end up turning the res down and a slow frame rate. Slightly better results on a PI 2, as you can up the resolution a bit, but if you want top HD, you feel you have to compromise on the frame rate for streaming video and resort to having it just take periodic pictures. To be honest, I've played around with different Linux camera programs and compiled them for the PI (which is an all-night affair), added extention USB cords, mounted it in a home made external security box. Been there, done that; worn the T-shirt. But my conclusion was, it was easier to buy a cheap IP HD cam. Maybe not as much fun though! :-)

QUICK SUMMARY: Amazing steal for just a few bucks, with tons of potential for those motivated to learn. Highly recommended! BACKGROUND: I only came to the Raspberry Pi world a few months ago as of this writing, and quite by accident. Originally, I bought just a Raspberry Pi to inspire my pre-teen son, but quickly got hooked myself. Adding this camera to a Raspberry Pi made sense as it opens up a ton of creative opportunities and, for me specifically, helped me replace WiFi home surveillance cameras which no longer worked reliably following a company buy-out. WHAT I LIKE: - Inexpensive! Add a 5MB camera for under thirty bucks? Yes, please! - Easy to install! Pop up a locking tab on the Raspberry Pi, insert the ribbon, lock the tab into place and, done! - Easy to immediately use! I use the Picamera library and have had a lot of success using that to get photos - Add a wide-angle lens! Sold separately, I bought a somewhat clunky wide-angle clip-on lens and greatly improved the utility of this camera - Great quality photos if you're taking outside shots in bright light; otherwise, they're okay (but great for the money spent) - Trouble-free. I've bought three of these cameras for three Pi's and all are working reliably, even outdoors under my eaves WHAT COULD BE BETTER: - The camera comes with only one, default ribbon cable which for me is just barely long enough. I'd prefer having ordering options where the customer could choose how long of a cable to go along with the camera board. (Yes, you can buy ribbon cables separately, but that's at a greater cost and the shorter ribbon needlessly becomes a throw-away attachment). CONCLUSION: Great item at an even greater value proposition. Highly recommended!

Zumindest bei ordentlichem Licht macht dieses winzige Module echt gute Bilder. Die Anbindung an den Raspi ist wirklich kinderleicht und man kann sich die Mühe mit irgendwelchen WebCams sparen. Zumindest sehe ich außer dem längeren Kabel und potentiell mehreren Cams keinen Grund. Ob der Raspi neben der direkt angeschlossenen Cam noch weitere USB-Cams überhaupt performant abfragen kann, habe ich jetzt nicht mehr ausprobiert. Klare Empfehlung für Leute mit Spieltrieb und Interesse an schnellen, zuverlässigen Ergebnissen.
