Affordable and Lightweight
Considered a very good unit at an excellent price, lightweight yet quite powerful for experimental or hobby projects.
-
Overheating Issue
The infrared devices get very hot (75C) when in use, which exceeds the typical operating temperature rating, posing a risk to the camera module. -
Installation Complexity
Requires adding specific lines to configuration files and potentially different cables for compatibility with various Raspberry Pi models. -
Limited Infrared Range
The two little IR lamps only project light up to 6 feet, making them less effective for distant subjects. -
Lens Distortion
The 160° wide-angle lens can cause barrel distortion in images, particularly affecting close-up objects. -
Configuration Restrictions
The camera module only seems to work properly with the Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, limiting its use with other Pi OS versions. -
Color Distortion
Without a built-in IR-Cut filter, images may have a blue/pink hue depending on the IR levels in the environment.
