that's gonna be super interesting for super low powered timelapse camera for plants and stuff obviously not gonna be stock footage quality footage but might be interesting usecase
Good vidi yet again. Thanks Prof. BTW, TH-cam is making it more difficult to post a comment by having to scroll down X amount of vids they want to temp you with. Not working for me as I jus scroll and pay zero attention to their attempt to influence. I hope the feedback shows this is wasted time for both parties and programming effort on their part.
Few questions for Gary or for anyone well versed in devboards and whatnot... probably could find this by looking around, but just to foment some discussion. xD What are the differences between MIPI CSI camera port vs SPI vs USB? I think I read something in the past about USB cameras needing to go through the USB stack versus MIPI CSI being a more direct connection, don't completely understand it though. Also, is MIPI CSI like an extension of SPI pins given it's all serial? If I wanted to turn (for whatever reason) a camera with a MIPI CSI connection or direct SPI into an USB camera... is it like I'd need an USB breakout board with a camera controller chip? Getting further into the weeds... do smartphone cameras perhaps use something like that, or is it a different connector and protocol altogether? Anyways, outside of this... Gary, did you manage to put your hands in the new RaspPi camera yet? xD Not sure if they are even out... bit curious to see how the autofocus thing is working. Thanks for the video!
I am looking for something to do to replace my expired RING Camera which I was not to happy with needing to pay Amazon for storing and generally shadowing my door Bell video. Not made any decisions yet but accumulating ideas, this joins the list.
@@graealex Thanks for that, I had realised from Garys examples that it would not be great but I think tha will suffice for a while. Without giving it too much thought I had thought of a retriggered capture after detecting movement for a few seconds or so. It depends upon if it works or not. I am only in the thinking stage at the moment.
@@jamesgoacher1606 If you're going DIY, there are many more usable options that can actually deliver a video stream. Unless you're power-constrained, there's no reason to use a slow microcontroller. Raspi and a camera works absolutely fine.
Thank you for the video. Have you found any that give a decent frame rate? I found that the ESP32 camera gave a really bad video image. It had terrible frame rates, and it looks like this one does too. I'm looking for a camera to mount to an Arduino car and transmit video across the room. I was thinking of using the ESP32's WiFi to my PC.
you provide plethora of info about the mega cam but you show only few sample images it makes! Could you provide link for Mega 5MP NoIR camera image samples taken at daytime and night time? I'd like to see sample images before considering your "legendary" product for my project.
It's a good cam, but Is it possible to get (lower version of it) ~240p for lower price and power consumption since I need it for long rime battery running application
I'm getting ready to build my own security camera using a microcontroller and a low light camera module. I'm currently leaning towards a Sony IMX USB camera, but am open to other similar low light modules. My main concern is which is the best controller to use for a wifi security camera. I'm brand new to the microcontroller arena and never knew until just recently that the raspberry pi is not the only one available. Any assistance is appreciated
Note, it need not be a USB camera if that is not the "most efficient". I was only thinking that a USB camera module would be easily transferrable to other platforms.

Yeah, that's about right for this cam. Wake up, take picture, write to SD card.

some basic action cameras, like gitup git2, can be controller using servo commands, which can achieve similar results...

now we need this in IR

Microcontrollers generally lack the necessary performance. This really is not going to be on your list, unless you like slide shows.

@@billdberger7407 Bit of a silly price for a meaningful installation but thanks for the suggestion.

These look like a great little camera module for a 3D printer

What dynamic range?
Arducams are way too buggy. Do a simple search on the issues. The sooner they go out of business, maybe a competent builder will step up.

No you aren't, you never said anything. 🙂
