Review: Camera has great resolution is easy to work with, nice wide angle but very hard to calibrate with Lightburn (which i bought it for). After spending couple of hours trying for it to see the dots gave up and changed it to ELP 5MP version with distortion less lens and that was a breeze. to get it working. For Lightburn use would not recommend, for anything else most likely you will be very pleased.
Review: I love this camera and the fact that it is plug and play Linux friendly is worth the cost. Easy to use easy to stream live video which is why I chose this camera. In addition to my scripts I set udev rule for it so no matter what power issue may cause a reboot when it comes on it starts without having to do anything else to it.

Using this as a lightburn camera. So far works well but lightburn only reads it as 1080p, the camera has a higher resolution and very crisp quality.
