Simple to set up
Excellent camera for the raspberry pi

Works as expected for octoprint
The camera works as expected. It is a module with motorized focus, not an autofocus camera (in this this was not clear).I only use it to adjust the focus once in a while and I had it only for a short time.The setup steps of the existing octoprint plugins are not described properly, so some digging was needed, however this has nothing to do with the camera module.

Had to hookup
Took several failed attempts very confusing and limited instructions. But once got going works great

Easy to use.
Simple and easy to setup, control and use especially for the price. I bought more than one and plan to buy more for my home-made indoor security system. Only thing lacking is ability to record sound. Does anyone have experience recording video with sound on the Raspberry pi?

Looks nice
UPDATE: Ummmmm.... yeah..... Turns out I had *TWO* bad cables on my Pis. Once I replaced those with the ones that came with the cams (too short for my purpose), they work just fine. And they focus too! I'll just keep the one I was gonna return. :)ORIGINAL (BAD) REVIEW:But I can't get my RPi 4 to detect it. The classic RPi camera is detected and works just fine. Tech support for ArduCAM is non-existent, and there's no response on ArduCAM forums for my question about what may be wrong. Again, vcgencmd detects the RPi camera, but not this ArduCAM. ANd I have three ArduCAMs currently but none are detected. I tried them on one RPi3 and two RPi 4s, running Raspbian Buster.Guess I'll end up returning them.
