== Notes and version constraints ==<br />
* The camera does not support Android.<br />
* When used on a Mac system, some parameters such as brightness and contrast may not be controllable; for full parameter control, a Linux system with the V4L2 driver is recommended.<br />
* The lens has a wide 145° field of view, causing about 20% distortion and a curve effect in images.<br />
* The module heats up significantly during operation; this is normal.<br />
* Do not touch the back of the PCB, as it can affect electrical characteristics.<br />
