Commands and examples – verify before use:  

sudo libcamera-hello -t 0
sudo libcamera-hello -t 0 --camera 0
sudo libcamera-hello -t 0 --camera 1

Notes and version constraints

  • Exact firmware/driver version not specified; older systems may require additional configuration.
  • The tuning-file path example uses an IMX219 NOIR file; for IMX378 a custom file may be needed.
  • For binocular setups, cam0/cam1 assignment must match the physical ports exactly.
  • No price, availability, warranty, or certification details are provided in the source; these values must be confirmed by the manufacturer.
