Notes and version constraints

  • Avoid touching the backside of the PCB to prevent affecting electrical performance
  • The module heats up during use; this is normal
  • On Mac with OpenCV some parameter settings are unavailable; use Linux with V4L2 drivers instead
  • The module does not include a microphone
  • The LED cannot be individually controlled; it turns on automatically when capturing images via the UVC protocol
  • Version-sensitive steps (e.g., built-in Windows Camera app vs. AMCap) may vary by OS version
  • For advanced applications, you may need to write your own program using image-processing libraries such as OpenCV
