Raspberry Pi just announced the Camera Module 3. I built a camera based on @Kevin McAleer's PIKON design.
Check out the Camera Module 3: www.raspberrypi.com/products/...

One clarification: The price for the Camera Module 3 is still $25-not $35 as stated in the video-at least for the standard versions. The wide-angle versions of both the normal and NoIR camera modules are $35.

Great video Jeff! It really shows how much camera tech has improved, 25$ can get you quite far At the same time it shows how much is happening in software nowadays where it's never just one picture taken but several stitched together for sharpness better lighting and exposure, aided by a bunch of machine learning in the image processing stage I really hope we can get an open source camera software at some point that's at least close to the quality of modern cameras because the idea of a DIY camera you can actually modify yourself is awesome.

@jg374 Жыл бұрын

I was playing around with CHDK running on an old point and shoot camera at one point. This allows saving raw images and manual control + scripting in models that normally don't allow this. Even on this older style camera, the raw image was a grainy, distorted mess compared to the jpg image processed by the camera.

I've built a few Pi-based cameras that stream over LAN and are powered by PoE, so it's not wireless, but it's a single cable installation which suits me fine, and the screen I used was connected via the DSI port which made the preview video butter smooth. I also used the HQ camera because I wanted interchangeable lenses, but overall it was a very satisfying build.

@dtebarrett Жыл бұрын

How did you set it up to stream over LAN?

@Thats_Mr_Random_Person_to_you Жыл бұрын

@dtebarrett I did something like this but used the arducam module as it was the only autofocus maodule at the time (last year). But tl;dr mjpeg-streamer was the route I took. But considering the picamera2 python library now used by the pi means you can build a very simple python webserver to stream images. If you use mjpeg-streamer route you still need something like stunnel4 to ensure encrypted streams over ssl, but the python server route should have options to use ssl direct.

@isaackvasager9957 Жыл бұрын

Honest question. Why do people do this instead of just getting something like a Wyze camera and flashing open source firmware on it? The quality is 100x better and it's cheaper. I'm a nerd that loves this stuff to, but some things are just way more work then they are worth....unless I'm missing something?

@antiphlex Жыл бұрын

@@dtebarrett Im using the UV4L streaming server. Initially I used VLC bit found that the latency was unacceptable. But UV4L is quite good. Not perfect, but it allows a HTML configuration page and latency is minimal so its useful.

@antiphlex Жыл бұрын

@@isaackvasager9957 I cannot say why other people do this, but I would wager it's probably for the same reasons I like doing it, and it's for the joy of making it yourself and solving the technical problems that come with it. By buying a ready-made camera most of those problems are solved for you and all the fun of working it out yourself is gone. I agree, a camera from a reputable manufacturer will be 10 times better and likely more reliable, but there will be no love in it. My Pi camera looks like a Soviet cold war monstrosity, but I love it because I made it.

Use a piSugar for power. It works really well on a Superman Lego radio I made. Add a shutdown button to power down and power up (Howchoo has a good script for that). And can you add a cheap flash? Also, does it take the pictures in RAW or JPG? It would be good to just have it take RAW images that can be processed in post.

Wow! The quality of this new module looks good enough that you could build a genuinely usable open-source point and shoot. I kind of like the idea of building a replacement for my HTC RE, which I used a lot for street photography and the occasional time lapse until its battery became unreliable. The wide-angle variant looks like it could be a pretty good fit for that, and no need for a screen. Hmmm....

Hey Jeff - really enjoyed this one - especcialy in regards to seeding ideas (the NoIR could be a potential candidate for a door buzzer cam I've got on my project bucket list)! About the case and the tripod mount - I understand that 3D printing a 1/4" thread in the base is not much of a good idea due to precision/strength - but what about printing (at least roughly) a 3/8" thread - and then screw in a 1/4" to 3/8" brass or steel adapter? No idea if that would prove to be strong enough - just putting a thought out loud ;-)

I'd like to see some experiments with this: 1) Comparisons of this with the HQ camera. 2) Modding the lens to be higher quality. 3) Running Android on the Pi and using the Google Pixel camera app. That may possibly result in better software processing that would compare with the iPhone more.
