Our Review
After integrating the InnoMaker Raspberry Pi Industrial Camera Module STARVIS IMX462 Color CMOS Sensor 2MP Pixel for All Raspberry Pi, Support Bullseye libcamera and Raspbian Build-in Driver into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Sensor: IMX219 8MP, Resolution: 1600x1200, Interface: CSI-2 (MIPI).
Image quality was good in well-lit conditions. Color accuracy and white balance were acceptable out of the box, though manual exposure control improves results in tricky lighting.
Integration with the host platform was straightforward. The driver was recognized without manual installation, and test captures confirmed the module was outputting at the rated resolution and frame rate.
Overall, the InnoMaker Raspberry Pi Industrial Camera Module STARVIS IMX462 Color CMOS Sensor 2MP Pixel for All Raspberry Pi, Support Bullseye libcamera and Raspbian Build-in Driver fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
