innomaker GS Camera OV7251 Sensor with Global Shutter External Trigger Stream Mode 0.3MP Frame Rate up tp 158fps 8bit 10bit rawdata Format for Raspberry Pi 5 4B 3B+ 3B 3A+ CM3+ CM3 Pi Zero W

To be honest. Haven’t had the time to configure raspberry Pi. Pi’s are definitely not plug and play. Pi’s are definitely about the journey. Not the destination.

I recently purchased the Raspberry Pi Camera OV9281 and I am extremely impressed with its performance. The camera is capable of up to 453fps and the external trigger stream mode is a great feature that allows for precise timing and control of image capture. The monochrome global shutter sensor is also a huge plus, providing crisp, clear images without any distortion.The camera was very easy to set up and integrate with my Raspberry Pi. The support for Bullseye is also a nice touch, making it a great option for anyone looking to use the latest version of Raspbian.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the Raspberry Pi Camera OV9281. It's a high-quality camera that delivers solid performance and image quality albeit the tradeoff in pixels to get the global shutter. I'm using mine for a robotics/AI project and so far it works well for my needs.

The documentation is 10 years old. The software to be downloaded does not install...so basic this product sucks.

We'll see how well it does its job after Christmas when the pi project begins.

This is a nice camera if you want to do some kind of machine vision experiments with the Raspberry PI. It goes up to 158 frames per second and can be triggered externally so you can sync it up to something happening in the real world. It's also global shutter which means it captures the whole image at once, not line by line, this means you will not get the "jello" or tearing effect in your images if the camera or your subject is moving quickly.Overall a nice little device, 640x480 is not exactly high resolution, but if you want something to take close up photos of something like a machine that is spitting out parts you want to take inspection photos of, this will work fine.This connects to the PI's camera connector with a short cable. If you have not messed with the PI's connectors before, suggest you find a youtube video to show you how they work. They have a way of locking and unlocking that is not obvious but easy to do once you see how it's done. It does take a bit of work on the PI to get the software installed and running, but once you do it should be fine.

I know it's overkill to get a CMOS camera with such a high frame rate just to wind up using it as a glorified webcam, but here we are. The built in webcam for my printer is atrocious, so I figured why not set up octoprint and a standalone camera. It works fine. Documentation is on github, and you'll need to be a bit techy to figure it out--but if you're buying an raspberry pi camera like this, you're probably qualified already.

Love electronics and grew up when windows was not even around. I remember when the 386 came out and other computer too.Cameras came a long ways too and this is no diferent. A mini computer that is a pi can use this camera and to me that is actually cool.Does not take alot of power to run this camera and for its size its fast. Can hide it almost and anywhere the pi can go it can too.If I need an external trigger there's a port for that too.Well I'm not going wrong with this cam. Good Luck to you too if you get one.

Super cool camera to attach to your raspberry pi. The only issue is there are not any cases that can be printed to fit this camera. This is a model variation to the advertised unit. The unit I received did not match any models that were advertised on my order page. There are pieces on the motherboard that are not in the current 3D Print files for a case for this camera! This camera does have a nice picture quality.
