Raspberry Pi Zero is a PRO HQ webcam for less than $100!

How about a wireless webcam setup

bash: ansible-playbook: command not found

Having this error.

Great work Jeff! Was curious to know what kind of framerates we could expect from such a setup?

Hello, I have configured the sd card and but in my windows computer I don't see any camera. I try with Raspberry Pi Zero, 3B+ and 4, but none of them work
"Device Descriptor Request Failed." That's the error that I'm receiving in my Windows pc

Good job Jeff!:
I'm thinking of trying with a Pi3A+
Could you please tell me if it is compatible?
Thanks in advance

Hi Jeff ,Thanks for the effort.But will the PC recongnize the RPi as a USB camera even when no camera is attched to RPi physically.For me ,it,s not happening .Will highly appreciate your response .

Dear Jeff, I just came to this video because looking at Pi cameras for a project. I noticed You said "i hope this video doesn't cause a shortage of pis" wow, you should buy lottery tickets man you can predict the future

Never did get this to work…bought a zero and a hD pi module to try for it… sigh

Hey Jeff, I followed the tutorial and it works great! The only problem is the video is extremely dark. I’m not sure if anybody else had this problem or has a solution

Hi, this is exactly what I was looking for, but would this software work if a plugged in my own camera with a capture card? Thanks!

"Hope it doesn't cause a shortage in Raspberry Pis"... they cost 170$ now :)

Any video on using this as a camera for an astrophotography DIY project?

Very well donee video ! Do you have the link to that CS to Nikkor lens adapter? I want to use my 10mm Nikon lens

PLEASE ANSWER!!!!! Very important since I will leave my house for almost 2 months.

This is great. I have motioneyeos with 3 cameras setup and Rpi Cam Control with varios cameras I access. Is there a good app that will allow me to access these cameras/apps without trying to hit little buttons with fat fingers on my phone?

WOW. can I set it up at home and log in with some software and watch my camera feed from home using my smart phone?

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, the camera is recognized but it crashes when activating it with an app and it disappears. A shame because it's just what I needed (and probably will be for many), and it's one of those projects that if it works will be useful for many years.

I am pretty sure, given your background, the word "Windows" is just foreign to you...

I'd be happy if I could use my Pixel 3 XL's camera without hassel. The phone is now out of support, but both front/rear Camera's are amazing for a Linux Webcam

Is it possible to stream and take pictures at the full resolution of the sensor, 12.3 MP ? :)

Arducam now has a CSI -> USB board and I'm going to see how that works

What about the still pictures? Are they any good?

Does it work with Bullseye?

would this work with the pi zero 2 ?

Is there a disk image somewhere? Keeps failing on me.

Hi, can we use Raspberry pi HQ camera with windows 10?

Did anybody know how to feed the image from another source instead of the onboard Pi camera?

Please help me with how to get the video source of a laptop/phone( webcam) through an IP address and feed the image to a raspberry pi. (Just replacing video source from an onboard camera)

please let me know if you got any leads

this dude is so full of himself.

I can see your nose in entire video...😅😅

Is the lens you're using to record in this video the 6mm lens or a different one? For me the linked 6mm one has a bit of a pretty aggressive bend around the edges

Can I use Raspberry pi 4 8gb ram. I mean can we use it as a USB webcam and plug it to the window 10 desktop.

Does the audio get recorded with the video?

Thank you Jeff for this quality video and project.

Hi, great video, thanks for sharing. I was planning on using the hq camera for a dual-cam dashcam project with the PI zoro w 2.
Have 2 PI 0 w2 record independently with a sort of controller unit that would work as hotspot to display the feed from the cameras when requested. Is it feasable, any ideas ? Thanks

Great tutorial, but it doesn't work with Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

hi jeff does this work in 2022 i remember they updated the picam didn't they

I'm curious if anyone knows off the tip of their head if any modifications would be needed to do this with a pi 4 b?

This of of course because the pi zero can't be found essentially anywhere for a while.

I wish I knew this before the stock issues

Hey Jeff just wondering can you run it at 1080 on the zero 2 or is the choppiness still an issue ?

Hi im having this problem with the raspberry pi camera, when i go to preferences and try to enable the camera its not detecting, I already checked if its connected and it is im using a raspberry pi zero 2 w, the only thing im noticing different from the videos im watching is that the os is a bit different in the videos i watched there was like a circle for disable and a circle for enable and in my os theres this circular rectangle that indicates enable or disable.
help me please

jesus christ it was set on 144p and the intro fit right in

Hi Jeff
Amazing tutorial thank you for sharing absolutely impeccable! So I bought all items the only difference was the zero 2 w I tried to install a couple times in different ways but I couldn’t run the playbook : command not found, in my one attempt it ran but my mouse and keyboard gone. Have you had similar issue, if you could help me will be great I tried to build up a soldering microscope.
Ince again thank you for sharing your experiences with us
Kind Regards
Matthew

I am very interested in using it for scientific experiments. Is the overall latency (through the Pi zero) significant or noticeably slower than off-the-self webcams?
Thanks.

I found that the newest version of the raspberry pi operating system doesn't seem to work with this, so I started over with the legacy buster version. I also had to install Ansible using sudo apt install ansible after running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Running the ansible install at the end of the command shown in this video didn't work for some reason, the ansible-playbook command was not found. With these changes though, it seems to work as advertised. Thank you for this tutorial and the ansible playbook, this is an excellent solution for a problem I had where I needed a very lightweight camera solution that wouldn't affect the balance on a small portable telescope.

thank you for making the script and easy install !!

I got it working. Forgot to upgrade. But I also installed yaml and now it works like a dream. Thanks Jeff for your valuable channel and all the work that goes into making these gems/tutorials and GitHub projects. I’m using the 16mm lens and the result is amazing. Thanks again. By the way if anyone knows where I can get my hands on a zero w2 let me know, global shortage.
