Caution: Pi may hang (at least not accessible remotely) when using the UVC video kernel module. Works fine with external power, image/video quality is crisp. Works fine without powered hub, image/video quality is poor can be unpredictable, however for sanity try fswebcam -p YUYV test.jpeg MJPG on /dev/video0 (all OpenCV, fswebcam, motion. Runs on the model B without a powered hub. dev/video0 Works out of the box with guvcview. Works with both Arch and Wheezy out of the box Will work without hub if only device in USB ports. UVCVideo /dev/video0 Needs chmod to 666 to operate. Needs to skip frames when using fswebcam until exposure settings calculated. Ov519 driver 'Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment' gives corrupt image in motion and fswebcam

Runs on the model B without a powered hub (rated 100 mA). Works on Raspbian at 320x240 resolution, 15fps Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment. Tried various apps (fswebcam/motion) - none work. In Full HD (1920x1080) the Raspberry Pi 4 lags badly (tested with Webcamoid). Out of the box works perfectly in Half HD (1280x720) with Chromium (Google Meet), Webcamoid and Cheese. By default the image is bit too software enhanced (they call it 'sharpness'), but this 'sharpness' level can be set to a lower level via fswebcam tool. Autoexposure works well both indoors and outdoors. Helps to append nodrop=1 and timeout=5000 to uvcvideo module. Has some stabilitiy issues if powered from RasPi (Drops USB +eth0 every 8 or so hours). Works at 1280x720 taking stills in fswebcam with some errors using MJPEG, unusable with YUYV. Also works outside after some manual adjustment of exposure.Ģ Mpixel camera with manual focus works with fswebcam and v4l4j on Raspbian Wheezy armhf problems with 1600x1200 resolution in some apps (timeouts - probably too slow USB) 1280x1024 and lower resolutions works OK Tested with guvcview and also with mjpg-streamer. When using outdoors, image is completely overexposed.

Has auto exposure, but seems to be optimized for indoor use. Lacks autofocus (manual focus ring works fine).
