For Raspberry Pi Camera Module, 5 Megapixel 1080p Sensor OV 5647 Mini Camera, Raspberry Pi Model A/B/B +, Pi 2, Raspberry Pi 3, 3B

This camera module works well with the second generation Raspberry Pi (2B). The quality is decent, even in a low light environment.

Nice Product and Worked as intended

Installing this camera was quite simple, and took maybe 5 minutes max. However, when I opened the anti-static bag it came in, the lens looked as if it had a chip in it, and the plastic lens holder was scratched as well. The instructions referenced a lens protector sticker, but I did not see one in the bag or on the lens. The image quality is alright, however it is a bit fuzzy from the scratch. When I tried to claim warranty with the squarespace warranty, they said it was my fault and wouldn't cover it. If you're on a budget then this is a good camera, but if you have the money I would recommend the official Raspberry Pi camera v2 Edit: Soon after reporting the issue, Arducam reached out and offered to replace my camera. They responded quick, and I just got the replacement yesterday. The image quality is much better, and it is now mounted on my 3D printer for timelapses and remote monitoring! Attached is my most recent timelapse :D My only issue still is there doesn't seem to be a way to focus the lens for closer objects (like the printer fan in my timelapse)

Running on Raspberry Pi 3 A+ and Raspbian 10 Buster. Primarily using the camera with Octoprint to monitor 3D printing progress. Installs easily - ribbon cable is a bit short, but I've mounted the camera and the Rpi together on an arm to the printer. Image is a bit soft regardless of focal distance - everything isn't super sharp regardless of distance to the lens. So don't expect being able to read license plates or words with this camera. For my application of monitoring 3D prints, it serves its purpose. All in all pretty satisfied. A little more expensive that other 3rd party camera modules, but the Arducam came packaged nicely in a small box, sealed in an anti-static bag, and worked on the first pass.

Just what I was hoping! Decent little camera to monitor overall progress on my Ender 3 V2, using octopi. Ease of installation: Worked seamlessly with octopi; plugged it in, restarted the server, and voilá! Camera quality: Initially I thought 5MP fixed focus would be like going back in time to early 2000's webcams, but no, the 1080p @ 30fps is great for overall monitoring, just not suitable as a close up hotend camera.
