FAQ
Question:Why does the camera display abnormally when my hand touches it back?
Answer:
Do not touch the components on the back of the PCB with your hands, so as not to affect the electrical characteristics.
Question:Does the module get hot during use?
Answer:
It is normal that the module would generate a lot of heat during use.
Question:Why can't I control brightness, contrast, or other parameters?
Answer:
If you are using a Mac system and Opencv, some parameter settings are not available, so we recommend using a Linux system and the V4L2 driver.
