2 PCS OV2640 Camera 160°

I was able to easily swap out the lenses that came with my ESP32 CAM modules for these. 100% compatible with no changes to code or settings. Improved image quality from the stock lens. Longer connector ribbon gives me more freedom in regards to placing components in a project enclosure. The only thing I didn’t think about (not a fault of the product, just worth noting) is the shape of the lens and lens body makes it a little harder to thru mount without any gaps around the pass thru hole and the lens. Not a big deal but of course that’s what took the most time when I swapped the lenses out.

This review is for anyone looking to use this for work on near-infrared light. The cameras arrived as described and plugged right into an ESP-CAM with no drama. Image quality is fine for what these cameras are. The lenses come with an IR cut filter, but fortunately the filter is at the bottom of the lens stack and accessible. I was able to use a pair of fine tweezers to dig into the plastic lens body at the corner, and pry out the filter. Didn't even break it. So at least for the ones I received, these are a good option for an project needing a camera with no IR filter if you are willing to do some light modification to the lens.

Would have given it 5 stars, but they put a big glob of glue on the threads. Disassembling it voids the warranty, so they made it harder to get inside and remove the IR filter if you're using it for something like face tracking in vr. Broke one figuring that out. Just make sure you get the glue out of the way first, and you'll be fine. I got another set to use with my EyetrackVR setup.

The longer cable helped in my application, but the image is still not great. This might be the camera or the fact that I am using it on a cheap ESP32, but none the less, not great quality.

Easy to install on the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4. Great picture quality. Using PiCam libraries and python.

Poor quality control. As others have indicated only one of the two cameras partially worked but it has a defective sensor that displays a star like pattern.

Cameras arrived very quickly from Amazon and work well with my ESP32. I like the wide angle view. I recommend them.

Out of two one did not work. Just my bad luck. But the one that works is good

Quality is great, used it with the ESP32 CAM module. Highly compatible and useful.

This is just sad! I finally got to test them tonight and the 1st one worked perfectly. Excellent picture. But the second one doesn't work at all. There's just garble flickering with zero image at all. To confirm, I switched the 2 cameras between 2 ESP-CAM boards and the problem follows this camera element. This needs to be resolved! If sellers refuse to actually test products before selling, perhaps they shouldn't sell! This is SOOO annoying!!! EDITED: This seller is very attentive to customers. Very impressive. They reached out to me about this issue and have assured that they are going to inform the manufacturer of these cameras to suggest better quality control. Good seller!

The cameras work with my ESP32 boards. The image quality is so-so, but for the low price, I did not expect very much in that respect. Easy to connect, and works as expected.

only one of these worked and theres no way to contact anyone other than return

I think that given the price, two fully-functioning, good-quality cameras would be a great deal. However, one unit had a defect and will not run at high resolution and has occasional flicker. Looking back at other reviews, this seems to be a trend. For simple robotic vision applications, it works fine, don't depend on it for security work, however.
