Review: Seamles & easy integration with Octopi - 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.
Review: Good for Basic Projects - This works well with my Raspberry Pi 4. Setting it up was straightforward; I just followed the online instructions. The image quality is decent for the price. I mainly use it for basic computer vision projects, and it gets the job done. But the focus could be sharper. For simple tasks, it's a good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alright Setup, Damaged Module, Great customer service
*by B***. on September 1, 2018*

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)
