Arducam 8MP Autofocus USB Camera, IMX179 Lightburn Camera with Microphone, Ultra HD Embedded Webcam for PC and Raspberry Pi, Compatible with Linux, Windows, and Mac OS

Good product 👌

Very serviceable camera for the money. Gets a little hot sou you'll probably want to put it in a case with decent airflow.

As expected

I purchased this to add a camera to the inside of my CO2 laser lid. We 3d printed a camera housing. Attached it to the lid, and ran a cable out to my laptop. I can now superimpose a screen shot of my item laying on the laser bed, while in my laser control program. It helps to position the art work to be lasered on the items in the laser. If that makes sense. It issue I have is that the laser control program will lose connection with the camera at times. All the connections seem fine. The USB splitter which is running the laser as well, does not lose connection to the laser or my mouse (if/when it is plugged into the splitter). And I have replaced the splitter with a different brand to double check that. As far as I can tell, it is something with the camera. When it is working, it works great. I get a touch of fish eye, but its not bad. The picture is pretty clear. The auto focus seems to work great. I have never had a screen shot or live footage go blurry. I think its a pretty good camera, with just a small problem for my application.

Heard up really quickly. Be careful
