Raspberry Pi Cameras - The BIG Picture

[@Dronebotworkshop]

FINALLY another video, so sorry for the delay! It's a big one so if you want to skip to a specific section just use the Table of Contents that is in the description. I apologize for the lack of videos lately, should be another one very soon.

[@lemono1664]

do one for the Jetson

[@flojotube]

DroneBot Workshop - this should say “FINALLY - Someone realizes that NOBODY before you considered a THOROUGH Rpi camera educational video that explains ALL OPTIONS!!!” Thank you. I’m STRUGGLING to even GET STARTED with my Rpi and all my fun gadgets that sit here collecting dust & depression.... Videos like this help a lot and provide encouragement.... Now all I need is the rest of the knowledge I’m missing... I’ve never wanted to learn something more, and never had such a hard time finding an easy to understand way to learn it. Sucks.

[@electronpath]

You do put a lot of work into your videos, and I guess quality > quantity.

[@153SCORN]

I you want to use it as a CCTV over the WiFi - github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer?fbclid=IwAR1TIW2y4dFjNfSwIEQAZpxGWCilNi69YgPxsxVeEJ_LAFn3PyJDc6AliJY

[@alekseikostikov27]

Your channel has become one of the first resources I look to for information on a given subject. Thorough, accurate, pertinent information. No clickbait, sales pitch, or misinformation. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and for the time and effort you put into each of your videos. It literally saves a person incredible amounts of time, money not having to duplicate all of the testing you kindly share with us.

[@MFJLabs]

And no distracting music ... a HUGE thank you for that.

[@Fred-lb5jp]

The greatest teacher in explaining electronics I have ever seen on KZbin and compares equally to my pneumatic instructor which was the best I ever encountered You have the right combination of a lot of great qualities to be able to transfer knowledge to people that want to learn about electronics, which is the future.

[@OsoPolarClone]

I loved and chuckled reading your “hey don’t forget to do these things” notes on you video test image! I really enjoy your well thought out videos and well written articles.

[@lawrencewheeler3573]

Hi Bill You have set a high standard in presentation with de-mystifying and getting us fellow Life Long Learners up and running in practical applications. My new year wish is to work towards your standard in helping others. Cheers from a small farm in New Zealand Lx

[@TheOleHermit]

Watched this prior to purchasing my HQ cameras. Learned how to gstream dual RPi V2 cameras on the Jetson Xavier NX. Received the 2 HQ cameras and a StereoPi CM3+ board, but couldn't get beyond raspistill & raspivid. Spent the past week searching YT, wikis, & forums. Learned a lot about installing OpenCV, uv4l, etc. But, couldn't find the answers I needed until I reviewed this video and followed your links. Excellent tutorials! Thank you so much for showing us the light at the end of the tunnel.🙏 Now, I simply gotta go & giterdun.😎💨

[@mflood35]

When I was reading one of your comments a day or so ago I realized that I had failed to send any positive comments about you workshop sessions. Your included details such as taking time to refer to Amperes instead of amps is an excellent one. So many places assume that the customer KNOWS a fact when If it's a new device or product they might not know. Like many people I buy a lot of things from Amazon. It would be so much more helpful if instead of showing several different photos of an integrate circuit the would post a link to a data sheet for that device. And your workshop fills a lots voids. A recent example is a workshop where along the way you explained that if you did "such and such" a function or operation might or probably fail. What a person should do instead is....(explanation). Thanks so much to your good and useful work. I have become a fan and have shared links to your workshops with friends who, like me, create things for themselves or others. Sincerely Mike Flood Illinois, USA.

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

Glad to see you back and thanks for the effort to put together this outstanding information.

[@jeffk412]

if there is a video more thorough about Raspberry pi cameras, well then I just would not believe it. Well done!

[@stevetobias4890]

Your workshops are bloody brilliant mate

[@NewAgeDIY]

A lot of time and effort has gone into this review. I’m sure it’s going to be a reference video on the Pi camera’s for years to come. Having used the V2 camera in my MotionEyesOS projects, I am aways impressed by the quality of my stills and videos my camera provides. Still waiting for stock on the Raspberry Pi hi-quality camera’s to be able purchase one. Thanks again for this review. Be safe and healthy and hope to you in your next video

[@kdausu90]

Very, very informative. Thank you so much!

[@jonathanrash4146]

Was looking for an overview exactly like this, thank you so much

[@jpino528]

This is quality content, why channels like this one doesn't have millions of subscribers?

[@MrBobWareham]

Thanks, Bill, that was a very informative video, as I want to start using my version 2 camera with my old v3 Pi and a bird box for next year in the garden. All the best Bob in the UK

[@kYLEkAPLAN]

Love your videos DroneBot! You pay so much attention to getting all the details correct, I wanted to let you know what '4k' or 2160p video is actually 3840x2160 rather than the 3480x2160 that you show in your video. REAL 4k video is actually 4096x2160 that most native 4k projectors support.

[@tinkmarshino]

Well done Bill.. it has inspired me to dust off some of my cameras and even get a new one or two and set up a few little experiments... It has been a while since I have used one.. Glad to see you back by the way.. hope you are having a great summer! It is nice to know that during the cold and miserable winter time you will have more videos.. But it is time to make hay as they say.. see you in the funny papers..

[@rc.9764]

Bill...you are a number 1... you know how to teach...I always waiting for your videos..thumbs up

[@jmcbike]

When I broke my Pi (Ver 1.3) camera lens, I just removed the broken lens, preserved the sensor and installed a new housing and lens, added a cutout in the housing for the ribbon cable, aligned it over the sensor and secured with hot melt glue. Works great, plus allowed use of a longer lens.

[@beauslim]

Thanks so much for this comprehensive overview.

[@rogerjenson5689]

I have talked myself out of buying the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera several times due to my lack of knowledge about Raspberry Pi cameras. Now all I need to do is decide which lens I want to buy with the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera. Thanks for the excellent video.

[@digital945]

not properly tested at last pictures i know there were limitations...... appreciate the whole video,was so informative and kudos to your hard work sir. so informative. subscribed to your channel.

[@AS-iu3pl]

Awesome video. Really clear and in-depth explanation. Appreciated.

[@leyasep5919]

19:10 "that's me in the corner" REM intensifies ;-)

[@caminuslabs4750]

Brilliant as always!

[@1minutechess]

I love longer video in details anyone who is patience enough get good education

[@eliasbailey1067]

Gran trabajo. I'm glad you're back. Excellent video. Best regards.

[@hotquebec]

this is very good ! great speaking voice,wellexplained succint topic and GSOH !

[@danutaishleash7334]

Van I use the pi camera to inspect pcb board .. like to verify resistor values? Cap placements. Etc.. etc...

[@79ober]

as always, a very detailed and informative demo and explanation, great one!

[@olatunbosunolanike3019]

How can you record audio on this

[@michaelclement1337]

This is made me think about a telescope I've got, perhaps I could use a Pi with a camera somehow connected to my telescope. BTY how hard is it to add audio to the video on a Pi?

[@BrianB2579]

......THanks for the great video and fine explanation of the Cameras..... from the UK

[@Willy_Tepes]

What I am most interested in is how to use cameras from old cell phones with the Pi.

[@YanasChanell]

Yes, that would be nice to know. I have a dead Samsung Zoom with 10x optical zoom camera, I hope it's possible to use somehow

[@spacejunky4380]

Lol right? But there are so many questions and some much to how it actually works that it isn't a very simple answer I imagine

[@Phlupke]

Hello from Belgium, very nice vidéo, as usual. A little suggestion, if you don't mind. When comparing two results on one screen, display the same part of the photo, this would allow a better comparison. Thanks for all. Regards.

[@NetzKanal]

Could you please share what lenses you used here and where to get them? Thank you!

[@Richardj410]

Thanks I look forward to your videos, sometime waiting is a pain but it is always worth the wait.

[@herewegofans]

Just found the workshop. My kind of learning. LOVE the power points. Why not teach us like students? We are aren't we? Thank you for taking the time to share these videos.

[@contouraerials]

Thanks for the video. Thinking about using the HQ and 16mm as a livestream webcam looking outside

[@jayvadgama5663]

Brilliant Video. Many thanks for a very clear explanation.

[@jcjensenllc]

Enjoyed this video. Was disappointed by the color changes in video as you moved. How would you record and sync sound in video recording? Would like to see a hack to get a 12 or 16 megapixel camera from a current smart phone working on raspberry pi.

[@stevedonkers9087]

I am a printing press operator by trade, and the plate mounter I use has two Pis with cameras. One of the issues it has is that some vibrations (like what is generated when peeling the plate off of the stickyback to reposition it) can cause the interface to glitch, which can in turn cause a complete Pi restart. Initially it was thought to be a poor connection, but this plate mounter model seems to have this problem universally.

[@tonyl7418]

I bought an adapter, Canon EOS EF and EF-S to C. Means I can use any of my camera lenses plus old Pentax lenses I have an EOS adapter for.

[@nikitakipriyanov7260]

Only need to hope heavy lenses won't break RPi's bayonet connector :)

[@sprockylock391]

Hi great video I have a old tablet after watching your video ime wondering could I use the camera from it ?

[@davidrobertson7881]

Thank you. Excellent clear and evidenced based. Well presented. Well done.

[@akust]

so much information, so many details and tests of the different cameras.. great! Thank you!

[@richardamullens]

How to incorporate audio into video ?

[@nchdysowhr]

This is a quality production. Thank you

[@donwarr3512]

Great Vary professional... Thanks for putting together a total camera tutorial... Yes its long, but thrall... and someone interested in this stuff does not mind in the least... You are vary good at this, and helping people is how you get to Heven....lol

[@johnstevynmburu]

This video is very detailed. I had to give you thumbs up for that & I never comment on youtube videos.

[@ArulMoorthyM]

Very professionally done! Very much appreciated!!!

[@PB-mw2qu]

Great video been trying to resolve the various type for raspberry pie

[@fiqianarofi2991]

can you explaine how to install this camera for mapping using flight control?

[@veereshs.m4510]

very informative .... I would like to get the Focal length of arducam OV5647 on focussed object and run time. Please can show some insights on it. how to get the focal length of lens during focussing.

[@yurkshirelad]

Another excellent video! Where do you get the magnifying lens from?

[@geo33t]

Despite a rather strange comparison with Canon - thanks again for your effort.

[@BrianPalmerEDU]

Thanks for such a thorough and well thought-out overview on using these cameras. As usual, very useful! I, as a number of others, would love to see you explain how you might incorporate audio with the video. Since the Pi doesn't have any audio input and the camera modules don't have audio, I'm told incorporating a USB mic is the route to go. Do you agree? Can you show how to capture video with audio in real-time, or if it would be otherwise necessary to capture audio and video simultaneously (as separate files) and then merge them in the Pi to a single H.264 video with audio? Thanks so much!!

[@thierryeymard9259]

hi, great video and 1 question...you are using a raspberry pi, is there a reason for this over arduino ? could you have used the arduino with expansion board? curious. thx

[@RossPotts]

@dronebotworkshop, referencing @9:50, I just had a HELL of a weekend trying to get 2 arducam RPI HQ cameras to work, to no avail. After purchasing a branded RPI HQ camera I was successful. I can only guess that the arducams were intended for Jetsons because the MIPI connector was 22 pin 📌n each. The branded camera had 15 pins. Still can’t get the branded camera to talk to my RPI 5, but that MAY be a cable issue: RPI 5 connectors are 22 pins, and my 15-22 pin cable did NOT work. Anyway, I returned the Arducams. Now I just need to justify to the family CEO getting a 2nd camera for my telescope, LOL!

[@jameshughes3014]

Thank you very much for your videos. I enjoy the clear, simple explanation and comparisons of various hardware. Personally, I'm disappointed in the direction the raspberry pi and it's bits have gone. Rather than producing new, affordable updated versions of their stuff, they've just decided to make things bigger and more expensive. The new camera (with lens ) approaches $100, the pi4 with bits needed comes close to the same price. At that price, It's getting uncomfortably close in price to much better options for any project I could imagine. What I used to love about the pi is that you could buy lots of them ,and have multiple projects or cheaply experiment.

[@thushararathnayake]

Hi, Please tell us how to add audio to an RP high-quality camera and do video streaming

[@anoirbentanfous]

Can this camera be used as soldering microscope? if yes please leave a link of BOM. Thanks

[@lonlarson8755]

Darn it! I want to give this TWO thumbs up, but KZbin won't let me. 😀 Thanks for another well-done, informative video.

[@mikerosal7393]

Can you provide to us or create the vlog of how to extract the Unique Biometric Fingerprint ID?

[@labsanity8049]

nice camparison! thx for the effort. helps me a lot to decide which one to get

[@johndoe3092]

Sir, you have a golden voice

[@JianGongWeb]

@9:20. Isn't the current Pi 4 using VideoCore VI (version 6), so how about the support for H.265 and HDR in Pi 4? Thanks for the awesome video.

[@TerboBlitz]

Great presentation -- very useful. What was the approximate exposure time used in your Image Tests (Low Light) at 43:06?

[@tubeDude48]

This was GREAT Bill...thanks!

[@tpobrienjr]

Thank you for a thorough presentation on RasPi cameras....

[@leonoliveira8652]

I was hoping for some examples on the max and min zoom levels of the 16mm lens

[@CathyInBlue]

@8:05 4K resolution is essentially quad full-HD, which requires both the horizontal and vertical resolutions be doubled. So, 1920x1080 becomes 3840x2160. You've transposed two numerals in the 4K resolution shown, claiming 3480x2160 resolution. This should be corrected.

[@sibujacob977]

beautiful explanation !!

[@yiorgos-theo]

is there a gui for the camera?

[@jbc8220]

Hello. will the quality of the camera capture will still be the same if I use a wifi module for the camera and connect it wirelessly to the raspberry pi? will the FPS of the video be lower?

[@jamesgrant5945]

Thank you for the video. I learnt alot.

[@Official_W]

Can we use this camera outside like others DSLR 🤔

[@Stevon2012]

Thanks, It was very informative. I just bought my first raspberry pi and so far, I love it. I want to write some new camera software, but that may take a while... If I do I will let you know, lol!

[@anandmoon5701]

Supper information on various camera modules.

[@patwicker1358]

Good video. Glad to hear from you, I was about to organize a search party. :-)

[@backgammonbacon]

Your description of the c and cs mount is wrong. The HQ camera is a CS camera and you add the adapter to turn it into a c mount camera.

[@neptuneatlantic4883]

What is the sensor that you’re wearing? (blue wristband) . Is it a pressure/temp sensor for medical applications?? Sure would be nice to see a project like that.

[@alaaalkawaga3069]

Hi my friend how can i connect a surveillance camera to a computer to be used as a substitute for a webcam. And what is the work of the crystal in cameras. Can the value of the crystal on the camera be changed at a higher value. Gratefully🌹

[@Forensic1Man]

Really, really nice video! Well done!

[@CraigMullins1]

The samsung s20 Ultra, which goes on sale March 6, is being marketed for its “Space Zoom” capabilities. In addition to wide and ultra-wide cameras, its telephoto lens with a folded zoom provides 10X optical and 100X digital zoom. We need this!

[@gerhardwiesinger]

Where can the test-charts be found?

[@p.k.parchure7291]

Excellent work. I have an old practika film slr with couple of m42 thread lenses. Can old slr be retrofitted with this cam. Or can m42 thread lenses be used.

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

HQ Doorbell coming up?

[@CraigMullins1]

Any with optical zoom and auto focus?

[@samuelec]

Very well explained, thank you sir

[@jazzmeltsface]

Hey, will the 16mm Telephoto Lens on RPi HQ cam give me nice Video and Photo's (for timelapse) in Octoprint for just general viewing and even better zoomed in shots too see good close filament shots?

[@wimbreedijk8591]

Can I usb the cam as a webcam to stream video via my pc using a usb connection?

[@SimonLane]

Great video thanks for posting this. I've got the v2 noir and ir cameras and have been considering the new HQ one to upgrade my MotionEyeOS pi cctv project. Might explore the fish eye lense after that video.

[@rexmcgurk9792]

Great video. Witch pi cam would you use for day and night for outside surveillance?

[@ryan_niemi]

There is an error at 8:00, the digits used are transposed. That 4K UHD resolution should be 3840x2160, not 3480x2160. Which is 8,294,400 pixels, not 7,516,800 pixels. There is another error at 8:47, H.265 is not needed to do 4K. 4K is perfectly valid for H.264. H.265 is a different codec (HEVC) that is more efficient than H.264, but both H.264 and H.265 can be used with a wide variety of resolutions, including 4K. Note - The specific GPU firmware implementation in the Pi doesn't support 4K, but that's not because of the lack of H.265 hardware.

[@murraymadness4674]

wait, did you not do the 5mp camera?

[@glynnburke8139]

Great video, packed with excellent information

[@ingmarm8858]

Hi, 0:43 5:37 - it is a Camera SERIAL interface (CSI) not standard interface. 5:45 - The interface uses differential (balanced) signalling, the cable doesn't. Cheers :-)
