## Description

This Arducam Automatic Day/Night Camera Module for Raspberry Pi is designed for all-day photography and surveillance. Highlights Switch IR Cut Filter Automatically On for daylight color accuracy, off for IR night vision. IR Corrected Lens Low dispersion glass that greatly reduces Focus Shift and Chromatic Aberration, and focus light of different wavelengths on to an image plane at the same location unlike the other lenses IR LED Illuminator Triggered by the light sensor that decides whether the light condition is poor and needs to be improved Specs Sensor Sensor size: 1/4” (OV5647) Resolution: 5MP 2592×1944 Video: 1080p 30 fps, 720p 60fps, 480p 90fps Lens Focal Length: 2.25 mm (You can screw the lens for focusing*) Field of View (FOV): 130° (D) × 100° (H) Thread Size: M12×P0.5 Camera Board 3.3V power output for IR LED Built-in Motorized IR Cut filter Dimension: 36×36 mm, 4 mounting holes

Review: I wanted a camera that would stream video over my local Wi-Fi that I could move around as needed for different projects. I use it to monitor 3D prints, or keep an eye on the kids in the front yard, and this does a great job at that (as long as you know the limitations). This does not have an autofocus so you need to focus the camera by hand. This is meant to be a cheap camera module, so if you want some kind of autofocus you need to pay more for that feature. this module does manage to stream up to 30 FPS at 1080P without much difficulty. I may end up buying more to use for other projects so I can remote manage them from my desktop as needed.
Review: I purchased this camera to set up a monitor for some birds nesting on my back porch. I 3D printed a special housing mount for the camera and had to experiment with the dimensions of the holes in the mount because there was no dimensional information on the camera, sensors, and IR LEDs. Once I got the housing completed and the remote RPi camera fully assembled I was able to watch the birds raise their young both day and night. Side note, the camera comes with an 80-degree field of focus lens. If you want a narrow focus, you will need to obtain replacement 12M lenses from ArduCam and remove the IR filters on the lenses.
