Cameras not listed here may potentionally work, but aren't tested and configured.
We only integrate Cameras which are tested and fitting to the purpose of openhd. If you want to get new cameras supported ask your camera vender to support OpenHD development with their hardware, but contact us first at [email protected]
While many cameras can potentially work, latency is the biggest issue. Please read the Camera pages to fully understand all variables.
When using multiple Cameras you need to choose one Camera-Subsystem, so you can not use libcamera and raspicam at the same time. This means f.e. you can not use an Veye-Camera and an Arducam camera at the same time.
When using multiple Cameras the second camera is using Software decoding and encoding, it is not recommended to use a high quality camera. It is generally made for a thermal camera or something with lower resolutions.
With the upcoming of many new camera's there is one thing we need to mention. OpenHD is not supporting ANY autofocus cameras, since they are basically not usable on equipment with vibrations (like drones), this also includes the Raspberry V3-lineup
