Arducam 16MP Autofocus Quad-Camera Kit for Raspberry Pi, 16MP IMX519 Autofocus Synchronized Pi Camera, Compatible with Nvidia Jetson Board

If you're looking for a camera for 3D printing steer away from the IMX519. After further research I discovered these are not supported by OctoPi, Fluidd, Mainsail or Crowsnest on rpi4. If you are looking to use these for a different purpose you can get them to work on at least the rpi4 (only model I have) but the supporting software can't even detect the autofocus feature, which was the main reason I chose to purchase these. I found a few threads where people were able to find a workaround on the focusing issue, but it involves vast knowledge of writing, editing or creating scripts.

I didn't know what I was doing and for a while I was struggling. luckily for me, they have extensive documentation and a very active support team. Eventually, I had to get the support team live to help me, and it turns out my main issue was that I didn’t have all four cameras connected at once, which is a requirement for it to work. Anybody who is needing less than four cameras should look at their other products.

After several wasted hours trying to get this to work, it seems like the drivers are just not compatible with the Jetson Nano even though it says it is. If someone was able to get it working on a Nano, please let me know what steps you took.

doesnt include the mounts even though the description says it has 1/4" 20 threaded mount.

Update: This board works if you get all the little details right - it’s a bit fussy, there are several versions of the documentation that say slightly different things, and some error messages are fine to ignore while others are not. In short, you’ll benefit from having some prior experience with buggy hardware/software bring-up. I suppose that’s the price to pay for a system that’s much cheaper than industrial vision solutions.I got these to work on my Pi 4B after a 90-minute support call with Arducam and follow up message where they said I need to use an older Raspbian release (22-01-08). Apparently you also need at least three cameras of the four connected to get any images.Original review:I bought two of these and followed two sets of instructions on the Arducam website for each, and one gave me purple static while the other one is showing only a black screen.After posting on the Arducam forum, the support team got in touch with me, so hoping to get it working with them.At the moment, this seems like a DIY product that is a little rough around the edges. I will update my rating based on whether we can get this working in the coming days.

This product does not work as advertised. Customer support from the company was unhelpful. Cannot use product on my device.
