ELP 8MP USB industry Camera review @TheBreadboardca

Uploaded January 2018 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

The kind folks at webcamerausb.com / elpcctv.com sent me one of their USB Industrial cameras to review.

I designed a mount/case for this camera that uses a standard 1/4 camera thread, you can find it here
thingiverse.com/thing:2751705

No Case, just the module and a USB cable, it is 8M Pixel and works without requiring any 3rd party drivers, standard operation with Windows, Linux, OSx and Android though I did have a few hiccups with my Phone when connecting with OTG but then the camera already in the phone is better so why would you do that!

Here are some timelapse I captured while 3D printing using the camera with Octoprint

$IOT Friday - Possibly the Cheapest IoT Node on the Planet pt1 The ESP8266 chip on its various SBC modules is rapidly becoming the GOTO for many low cost and low complexity (Relatively) solutions for an IoT Node. With Models like the SONOFF and Slampher from ITead Studio, the ESP01, ESP 12 and many other derivatives, all for well under 5$ and some close to 2$ there hard to beat. The Itead Studio parts come complete with power supply, Relay and a cloud service and Smart App. But where is the fun in just buying one and using a remote cloud service. We will go through re-programming the (ANY) ESP8266 modules with the code a friend of mine created Peter Scargill. http://tech.scargill.net/. Pete has been working with these modules for a long time and has a new set of BIN files with everything including the kitchen sink in them. check out the word doc detailing the configuration here :- https://bitbucket.org/scargill/esp-mqtt-dev/src/fe47daab214fcae49d88802f505430f8d0e5775a/Hackitt-and-Bodgitt-ESP.doc?at=master This is a 32 Bit cpu with built in WIFI, ADC, GPIO, Interrupts, SPI, I2C etc. In most applications where a developer may be tempted to use an Arduino, Launchpad or even a Raspberry PI, this little unit can do the job for a fraction of the cost. You have a choice of IDEs, including the Arduino Wiring IDE, Visual Studio, Eclipse or if you have the BIN files (As we will do in this video), a simple FLASH programmer) So with all Pete has included in this code base there is no need for me to write my own to setup my home automation system (I will show you in later videos). To complete the setup you will need at least a master control using MQTT and Node Red (If you want to minimize your coding effort). This can easily run on any Raspberry pi as a headless SBC and even on lesser powered Linux machines or alternately a Beaglebone Black. or pretty much any Linux system sporting Node Red and MQTT. You can also use Eclipse , IBM, Mosquitto MQTT Internet based services if you want as an alternative. The purpose here is to set it up at home and then allow only what you want out onto the internet. Petes setup script for the Raspberry PI can be found here :-https://bitbucket.org/snippets/scargill/KqgAe/latest-script-june-2016-read-the-comments bin files here http://www.scargill.net/rboot.bin and http://www.scargill.net/romx.bin His text based post detailing all this in his words http://tech.scargill.net/blowing-the-home-control-2016-code/ http://tech.scargill.net/slampher-unfolded/ Source code for those so inclined https://bitbucket.org/scargill/esp-mqtt-dev SONOFF Modules https://www.itead.cc/smart-home.html sonoff info https://www.itead.cc/blog/sonoff-esp8266-reprogramming-part-1-control-mains-from-anywhere$
