Highly recommended
The image will never be as good as a more expensive camera, but that's not the point when you only spend twenty bucks on something like this, is it?
All in all, it works as advertised.
For the price you cant beat it and I am already thinking of what I can use this in for another home project. Maybe a outdoor camera..
For those having issues getting started streaming, simply open terminal and run the following command:
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
The is an "L" not a "1" by the way. It works perfectly. The screenshot attached is a picture of my raspberry pi streaming video over the internet on my phone while I was testing a new camera position for watching my 3d Printer.

Die Fokus Einstellung ist natürlich auch etwas beschränkt. Ich musste in meinem Fall den Fokus auf die Druckbett-Mitte auslegen, daher werden größere Objekte die näher an der Kamera liegen oder weiter weg sind nicht so scharf dargestellt.
The quality of the camera was just fine, and stacked up quite well/ was consistent with the quality of 2 other Pi cameras I saw from other projects in my class.
Toch jammer dat de camera snel stuk was. Gebruik was ingebouwd op een vaste locatie.
