ELP High Speed Wide Angle Global Shutter USB Camera Module for Computer 1080P Mini UVC USB2.0 Webcam Board with 120degree No Distortion Lens AR0234 High Frame 90fps Web PC Camera Board for Laptop

Using this for a robotics project. The global shutter + high FOV + close range was perfect. This is one of the best usb breadboard cameras I’ve used. (Though I still use arducams when I need a lens)

Good color picture and global shutter in same camera. Never tried it above 20 FPS though

Having this mounted above my touchscreen display at the front of the classroom allows most of my students to be seen by the other party since some of their seats are close to the board but off to the side. I have a 3D printer and will make something a little more attractive to house it, but for now the mounting holes have sufficed to mount it to a piece of plastic corner bead I strung above the monitor. Since my application captures a larger area, I would prefer a 4K resolution. I have one of those cameras, but the angle of capture is not ideal for all of my situations either. As such, I can just switch between the two depending upon the situation. A 4K camera with a wide angle of capture would be ideal for my situation, but I do not want a fisheye lens. Lastly, between all of the different types, I can teach my students about field of view, frame rate, and resolution. If I use a fan, I can also teach about scan rate and how it affects capture of moving objects - especially since this camera has a superior capture rate.

I’m really confused by the price point of this camera. 80 bucks for a camera that doesn’t have an included enclosure is kind of strange. There’s definitely a place for stuff like this that’s cheap for DIY projects, but they’re usually inexpensive. As for the camera quality, it’s fine. The camera angle is wide. I’m going to use it as a camera to monitor my 3d printer. I’ll have to create a custom enclosure for it.

I could never get this to function
