Arducam5MP Wide Angle USB Camera with Mini Metal Case, 1/4" CMOS OV5648 Mini UVC USB2.0 Video Webcam with Microphone for Windows, Linux, Android, and Mac OS

Now, the strengths of this camera only comprise good view angle and resolution in a small size/format, which is great for some applications.Everything else is poor though, image is a bit dark, and lacks the crisp of contrast and color you'd expect from a 5MP camera even in good lighting.I have seen 1080p cameras that (apart for the better resolution) they overall showed a lot better and clearer picture at half the cost.This camera should cost a lot less!!!

I used this camera on my 3D printers (and a few others) for viewing prints remotely. It has great picture quality and mounts perfectly to a few different type of brackets I use on my Ender 3 Pro Printers. The wide angle view gives me a full shot of the printing bed. It doesn't work that great in low light however. You will need to use room lighting or LED lighting on your printer.

This is a very simple webcam that has pretty good picture. It is wide angle, so I don't appear as large on the screen as others do. Whether that's a bug or a feature is a personal choice. I like this cam has no mic. I have a USB mic I plug in when I want to use it. I am paranoid so I don't want a mic always listening to me. This cam comes with a lens cap, which I find very handy. This unit is like something that would come with an arduino kit more than a polished consumer item. Again, whether that is a bug or a feature is up to you. To me it is a feature. This is a camera I can use for a lot of electronics hobby projects as well as a functional webcam for work meetings online.

I use it for my K40 laser in lightburn. picture isn't the highest quality, but it works for what i need
