WEBVTT 00:00.110 --> 00:05.540 In the next few lessons, you are going to learn how to use the Raspberry Pi camera to easily extract 00:05.540 --> 00:07.190 photos and videos. 00:07.190 --> 00:12.110 So far, using the foundation from the beginning of the course, you have learned how to work with Pi 00:12.140 --> 00:17.000 sensors, how to use the terminal, and how to send an email from your Raspberry Pi. 00:17.030 --> 00:23.000 Now, just two sections before we can start the final project, and let's continue with the Raspberry 00:23.000 --> 00:23.930 Pi camera. 00:23.960 --> 00:27.080 The camera feature of the Raspberry Pi is a great feature. 00:27.080 --> 00:31.610 With a camera, you can create smarter and more impressive applications. 00:31.610 --> 00:36.770 In this section, you will see how to set up the camera and also how to use it both from the terminal 00:36.770 --> 00:42.470 and from your Python programs, so you can get photos and videos with different configurations. 00:42.470 --> 00:47.150 This knowledge will help you a lot for the final project of this course, and will be a good foundation 00:47.150 --> 00:51.410 if you plan to build more applications using vision in the future. 00:51.410 --> 00:56.510 So in the introduction section, I gave you more details about which camera to choose, and here is 00:56.510 --> 00:59.750 a quick recap with the different camera versions you can have. 00:59.750 --> 01:04.340 So here on the left you have the standard one and on the right the newer one. 01:04.340 --> 01:07.040 So the standard one has the green background. 01:07.040 --> 01:09.290 And this is well this is the one I would recommend. 01:09.320 --> 01:11.330 This is the most common one. 01:11.360 --> 01:12.920 It just works well okay. 01:12.950 --> 01:14.210 It works well in daylight. 01:14.210 --> 01:20.080 But if you need a camera that works in low light or in the dark for a specific application, then you 01:20.080 --> 01:22.030 might consider the noir one. 01:22.060 --> 01:24.130 Okay, but only in specific cases. 01:24.130 --> 01:28.930 As a general use, I would recommend just get the standard one here with a green background. 01:28.930 --> 01:34.240 And then for each of those cameras you also have a version one, version two, and a version three. 01:34.240 --> 01:36.370 So in this case I'm going to use the version three. 01:36.370 --> 01:41.020 But basically the main difference between all those versions is going to be the resolution. 01:41.050 --> 01:41.290 Okay. 01:41.320 --> 01:46.750 The higher the version the higher the resolution plus some extra hardware features. 01:46.750 --> 01:48.910 But that's going to be the main difference. 01:48.910 --> 01:54.610 And in the end, what's important to know is that all the Raspberry Pi cameras will work the same. 01:54.610 --> 01:59.350 So when I say it will work, the same means that the way to plug them to the Raspberry Pi is the same, 01:59.350 --> 02:03.790 and then the command line tools are the same and the Python code are the same. 02:03.820 --> 02:04.030 Okay. 02:04.060 --> 02:09.550 The difference is in the hardware, it's about the resolution, about the kind of quality of the image 02:09.550 --> 02:13.270 you're going to get depending on different situations, but the way to use them is the same. 02:13.270 --> 02:16.780 So don't worry if you still have an older version of the camera, okay? 02:16.810 --> 02:21.250 Even if you upgrade it to a newer version of the Raspberry Pi, it's not going to change anything. 02:21.250 --> 02:26.800 You can keep your old camera if you have an old one, and if you can't find or if you want to buy a 02:26.800 --> 02:30.360 new one and you can't find the newest version, Don't worry about that. 02:30.360 --> 02:36.570 Now, with all that said, there is one difference here and it's going to be depending on not the camera 02:36.570 --> 02:39.090 but on the Raspberry Pi that you are using. 02:39.090 --> 02:43.830 So as you can see on the left of the screen here, the camera might come like this with this kind of 02:43.860 --> 02:44.310 cable. 02:44.310 --> 02:48.600 So that's a 15 pin cable that are separated by one millimeter. 02:48.600 --> 02:50.070 And you can see it's quite large. 02:50.070 --> 02:55.950 And this one you can directly connect to Raspberry Pi four and all the versions of the Raspberry Pi. 02:55.980 --> 02:59.280 But then for Raspberry Pi five the connector. 02:59.280 --> 03:01.740 And we're going to see that directly in the next lesson. 03:01.740 --> 03:05.550 So the camera connector on the board is not the same. 03:05.550 --> 03:08.640 If you look at it it's a bit shorter and actually it's shorter. 03:08.640 --> 03:09.480 It has more pins. 03:09.480 --> 03:13.320 It's 22 pins, but they are separated by 0.5mm. 03:13.320 --> 03:14.760 So the connector is shorter. 03:14.760 --> 03:17.220 So in this case you might need as you can see here. 03:17.220 --> 03:19.350 And I talked about it in the introduction section. 03:19.350 --> 03:20.880 You might need an extra cable. 03:20.880 --> 03:24.000 So a cable adapter and this cable is 15 pin. 03:24.000 --> 03:27.300 So for the camera to 22 pin for the Raspberry Pi. 03:27.300 --> 03:32.850 And I guess that in the future when you buy a camera or if they release a new camera version, they 03:32.850 --> 03:35.820 might ship directly to the right cable for the Raspberry Pi five. 03:35.820 --> 03:36.450 But here. 03:36.450 --> 03:37.410 And that's what I had to do. 03:37.440 --> 03:41.850 You probably need to buy an extra cable so that you can plug your camera. 03:41.880 --> 03:42.270 All right. 03:42.300 --> 03:43.770 And now let's get started.
