Customers are dissatisfied with the focus of the single board computer.

Customers are dissatisfied with the cable length of the single board computer. They mention that it's awkward to install and the ribbon cable is very short. Some customers also report issues with the faulty cable and the included flex cable is relatively short.

"...The primary negative to this product is the short cable length which keeps it too close to the Pi...." Read more

"Resolution is great, but the ribbon is very short. I'm going to have to order a longer cable to be able to do anything worthwhile with this." Read more

"...and streaming speed is bad; also, no night vision, and the ribbon cable is so short that you can only just get the camera card outside of the Pi case..." Read more

This is a great hobby camera with Consistent picture quality
This camera is exactly as described. Very small but very good quality. I've been having issues with my Raspberry Pi that required me to repeatedly power cycle the device and it still isn't having any issues. It's a quality 1080 image/video and though I've seen comments about focus, I have had no issues. I actually use my pi to keep an I eye on the house & watch my 3d Printer progress through different prints, and I am more than happy with the results. The package was delivered on time with no damage. Good Buy.For those having issues getting started streaming, simply open terminal and run the following command:sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2The is an "L" not a "1" by the way. It works perfectly. The screenshot attached is a picture of my raspberry pi streaming video over the internet on my phone while I was testing a new camera position for watching my 3d Printer.
