FAQ

Question: If the hand touches the back of the PCB, will the camera display abnormalities?

 Answer:
  • Avoid touching the components on the PCB backside to prevent affecting electrical performance


Question: Does the module get hot during use?

 Answer:
  • During use, the module heats up significantly and may feel hot, which is normal.


Question: Why can't I control parameters like brightness, contrast, etc.?

 Answer:
  • If you are using Mac and Opencv, some parameter settings cannot be used, it is recommended to use Linux and V4L2 drivers.
