IP Camera Project Success

ByAmazon Customeron May 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

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.

Camera's used in the attached pictures:
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....

Excellent

ByJimon February 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

Works perfectly. Obviously much better resolution that the older Pi camera.
Best thing about this order? It came with a perfect tool to adjust the focus!
No more breaking glue loose and scarring up the camera with pliers just to
adjust the focus.

Very poor focus

ByB. Pearceon May 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

[Update: May 10, 2016]
After reading several stories of success, I used a razor blade to remove some glue holding the lens in place, and refocused the lens with my fingernails. After some minutes of focusing and going back and forth, I was able to drastically improve the camera's focus on distant objects, making it perform very similarly to the V1 camera. See comments below for a link to full resolution snapshots of before and after.

I've added back two stars to my review.
[/Update]

Despite this having a superior 8 megapixel sensor, the lens is much inferior compared to the original 5 megapixel Raspberry Pi Camera. Images have poor focus, particularly for distant subjects. This problem is affecting everyone, not just me. Refocusing the lens helps a little, but does not completely solve the focus problem. To adjust the lens focus, glue must be removed first.

My recommendation: don't buy the V2 camera module. Find an older V1 module instead, or wait until the lens problem is fixed officially.

Amazing little camera for the price

ByR. Manningon October 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

Very cool little camera--simple to attach to the Raspberry Pi and download the Python module supporting it. To get started playing around with it, downloaded and installed the RPi_Cam_Web_Interface, which provides a highly configurable web-based means of working with camera output. I highly recommend it.

A neat little camera for a neat little computer

ByDaniel Lufkinon March 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Almost any webcam will work with USB on the RPi but this little camera connects directly through a rather short ribbon cable and offers the RPi's hands-on access at practically the photon level. There are dozens of interesting Python programs to be explored and all sorts of projects to pull off the Net.

The essential Pi camera

ByAl SwansonVINE VOICEon June 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

Still working with this module but very pleased so far. For an 8mp sensor, I would expect more detail and I'm expecting that as I find more apps and libraries that address this, I'll find better configurations.
Right now it's serving duty watching the front room and checking up on my dog when I am not here. More than up to the task.
Great price and an essential part of a terrific system - the Raspberry Pi.

bad focus - long known problem - but sold anyway. is there no shame at Raspberry?? Raspberries to Raspberry. (Can be fixed)

Byj fergusonon November 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

Mine appears to focus at about 4 feet. i bought it to go after the neighborhood midnight vandals, so it didn't need to be great, but it should have been about as good as an older cell phone. It isn't. I won't get the photos of the faces of the miscreants with the clarity that the police are going to need.Now that I've realized that i can actually refocus it to my purposes if I disturb the glue which holds its present setting so i can rotate it to get what i want. What could these people be thinking??

Now that I'm disappointed I'm doing the homework I should have done in the beginning. This problem has apparently been known since April a year ago.

December 10: raised to 3 stars. I made a wrench for the lens by drilling a hole in an old credit card and filing prongs to grab the ribs on the lens. it didn't take much torque to break loose the glue which apparently is intended to keep the lens at the 4 foot focus. Now it's pretty close to infinity and the quality of the picture is really quite good. There is an outfit which provides a small wrench with their pi cameras. But not this one.

Great camera upgrade

Bymjc6063on May 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great product with clear image on both pictures and movie recordings. You may need to adjust the focus a bit. This can be done if you secure the square portion of the base (black) and turn the round portion (lens) only with a fine tweezers and turn. It's adjustable by threads but you only need about 1/4 turn to fine tune focus. It can be very sharp if done with some patience.
