Not able to work at 1920x1080 on RPI 3 or RPI4
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019
I have a raspberry pi version 4 with the latest buster and updates. I am using python and opencv. At 1920x1080 the picture is blueish and sometimes there appear to be three horizontal layers of off colors. I can still see the image though. Lower resolutions work. ffmpeg doesn't do any better and the fps are too slow. I tried other camera models, no problem. I tried another ribbon cable and thought it was better, but not so good. I am thinking the camera connection to the ribbon cable is messed up. It is in there tight thought. Asked for replacement from seller who is not MFR. Also have extended warranty but they said one year warranty from MFR is not up. I am currently in email no mans land trying to get a replacement.Update: seller said it was problem with raspbian v4 or RPI v4. So I build a new image on RPI v3. Same thing as shown in second picture. Works great in other resolutions, but not in highest resolution. My other cameras are fine. Still waiting for resolution. BTW, the frame rate is pretty good and pictures not to bad for a postage stamp camera lens, but the colors are off.Update: April 21, 2020 Moved camera to RPI3 and RPI3B with older software. Same issues. Oh well. Will return under extended warranty.

1080p camera = Foscam R2B
720p camera= Foscam 9821 V2
I'm keeping the 4 star review, in the spirit of this camera sensor only being ~$30 and a great project for the raspberry Pi.
Original Review:
I never owned or used the original 5MP camera but this one is as expected for a $30 camera. I'm not seeing any focus issues on my unit like another reviewer has, but I'm sure I'll end up tinkering with it anyway. The only thing I had to do was update the firmware on the Pi by running "rpi-update". I had to do this because the image out of the box was mirrored, which took some googling to see that lots of people have the same issue. If you intend on using motioneyeOS (not the normal motioneye inside Raspbian) that the image will be mirrored since you can't update the firmware in that OS and they haven't updated their code at the time of this writing.
8MP resolution is 3,264 x 2,448 the video specs are max 1080p30, which is a lower FOV than you'll probably want. The full frame video resolution I'm currently using is 1620 x 1232 which achieves 4:3 aspect ratio (full frame). Doesn't seem to place a big load on the CPU. See the attached images for the documentation on resolution modes with this camera.
Right now I'm using this as an IP camera using RPi-Cam-Web-Interface which works well if you're after a good IP Camera solution with a nice web GUI front end.
Obviously, if you want IR night time viewing with an external IR light source, you need the NoIR version of this camera. Beware though, that the daytime image will looks slightly...weird. But you already knew that if you own a Pi and are interested in this stuff, didn't you....

IP Camera Project Success
By Amazon Customer on May 12, 2016
Update: Added a few pictures. One is a newer Foscam 1080p camera, one a Foscam 720p camera and one this new 8MP camera for the Pi. The Pi camera does in fact seem to generally be a little blurry, in my opinion. I hadn't noticed it before others mentioned it but you can see how the wood eve along the top of the frame looks perfectly focused while the objects in the distance look out of focus. I know comparing it to a 1080p new Foscam is not totally fair, but I thought I'd add in both 720p and 1080p references to see some differences so people know what some comparisons are. I also wanted to show the FOV (field of view) this camera provides. For reference, the 1080p camera is 110 degree, the 720p camera is 70 degree, which seems to be pretty comparable to this RPi camera. The RPi camera image resolution is 3240 x 2464.By Amazon Customer on May 12, 2016
