Raspberry Pi Industrial Camera Module STARVIS IMX462 Color CMOS Sensor 2MP Pixel for All Raspberry Pi,Support Bullseye libcamera and Raspbian Build-in Driver

...Using this with 'Buster' and Pi3 (legacy installation). Follow the straigtforward wiki instruction/installation, you should be able to get the preview mode running overlay (from a ssh terminal), for unknown reason the overlay is not redrawn after termination of preview, probably a screensaver hotkey would fix it with a redraw...There are hot pixel(s), and will be visible with very long exposure. Interestingly, the best feature of this Sony Starvis sensor, after adjusting 'gain', you should get rather nice colour balanced long exposure (disregarding hot pixels), true to claim the very low lux performance.

I am writing regarding the Sony IMX462 sensor board.The IMX462 is part of the line with the IMX290/327/462 and is meant for use in industrial or commercial applications. It has great sensitivity to long wavelength light (700nm+) so it is great for night vision with IR illumination.I replaced the stock lens with a "uxcell 8mm Focal Length 1080P F2.0 1/2.7 Inch Wide Angle" available on Amazon. It has no IR cut filter so IR light will pass through it. It is connected to a Raspi Zero W. It needs a converter cable to connect to the Zero due to a different pin size.The Pi OS comes with a driver for the IMX290 which works with the 327 and the 462, but it also has a driver for a 462 which works. The seller says to use the 290 driver but I tried both and they both work so I am using the 462 (it still appears as a 290 though, so who knows what is going on).It uses the Pi's hardware ISP to process the sensor image, so if you aren't using a Pi I don't think it will work. There is no way to get this to display on another computer unless you connect it to the CSI lane and have a specific driver for it and the ISP tuning file. It also relies on the Pi's hardware video encoder to encode the video -- if you don't do this you will get a raw SRGB stream.It will not fit in normal Pi camera enclosures.You should really know that you want this specific sensor and board for a specific purpose. It is specifically good for surveillance, night vision, industrial, or astronomical applications. I am using it with a cold mirror (visible light cut filter) and an IR light to grab images of otherwise un-imageable surfaces. It works great for that.This is my /boot/config.txt entry:#Cameradtoverlay=imx462,clock-frequency=74250000#camera_auto_detect=0Here is the output I get from some Pi commands which may be useful for you:$ libcamera-vid --list-camerasAvailable cameras-----------------0 : imx290 [1920x1080] (/base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx290@1a) Modes: 'SRGGB10_CSI2P' : 1280x720 [60.00 fps - (320, 180)/1280x720 crop] 1920x1080 [60.00 fps - (0, 0)/1920x1080 crop] 'SRGGB12_CSI2P' : 1280x720 [60.00 fps - (320, 180)/1280x720 crop] 1920x1080 [60.00 fps - (0, 0)/1920x1080 crop]---$ libcamera-vid -n -t 0 --inline --listen --height 1080 --width 1920 --framerate 60 --denoise off -o tcp://0.0.0.0:5000Overriding H.264 level 4.2[0:11:13.274240440] [658] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:299 libcamera v0.0.4+22-923f5d70[0:11:13.556635700] [659] INFO RPI raspberrypi.cpp:1476 Registered camera /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx290@1a to Unicam device /dev/media2 and ISP device /dev/media0Mode selection: SRGGB10_CSI2P 1280x720 - Score: 5000 SRGGB10_CSI2P 1920x1080 - Score: 3000 SRGGB12_CSI2P 1280x720 - Score: 4000 SRGGB12_CSI2P 1920x1080 - Score: 2000Stream configuration adjusted[0:11:13.608129200] [658] INFO Camera camera.cpp:1028 configuring streams: (0) 1920x1080-YUV420 (1) 1920x1080-SRGGB12_CSI2P[0:11:13.611289169] [659] INFO RPI raspberrypi.cpp:851 Sensor: /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx290@1a - Selected sensor format: 1920x1080-SRGGB12_1X12 - Selected unicam format: 1920x1080-pRCC

Great product

Es gibt verschiedene Anleitungen zur Installation der Treiber. Ein von Innomaker beschriebener Treiber war überhaupt nicht hilfreich. Letztendlich war an anderer Stelle bei Innomaker die Anleitung Libcamera327 zu finden. So funktioniert dieses Kameramodul auf Anhieb mit Libcamera. Das Kameramodul liefert sehr gute Bilder, aber Libcamera kann das Potenzial dieses Sensors nicht ansatzweise herausholen. Trotzdem ist die Leistung bei Dämmerung und schwierigen Lichtverhältnissen schon gut. Als Erstes werde ich eine bessere Linse installieren.

Pivariety drivers are a total joke. Will not operate on any version Pi or Pi OS. WASTE OF TIME! No support from Innomaker! You ask Innomaker for a way of installing a WORKING set of drivers and all you get is a link to a spec sheet that shows you the dimensions of the camera! ha, ha! I think the business plan is to continuously send these junk cameras out OVER and OVER again until they find enough Amazon customers who won't bother to check if they actually work!

I am unable to load these drivers in ubuntu/rpios lite. I've tried compiling some drivers based on some search work but its still coming up empty handed. The github is a pdf spec sheet.
