Based on the information you’ve provided, I cannot identify any obvious errors.
However, to further investigate the issue, could you please test the camera again with manual focus and record a screen?
This will help us better understand the problem and find a solution.
Here are two images from the quad cam. The top left is using the command:
libcamera-still -t 0 --framerate 30 --autofocus-mode continuou
the bottom right is a pause in a video I took using the command:
libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o test.h264 --viewfinder-width 1920 --viewfinder-height 1080 --width 1920 --height 1080 --framerate 30 --autofocus-mode continuous --save-pts timestamp.pts
My goal is to take/record video but my impression is that libcamera-still is better quality. The resolution and colors look better in the still. Initially I thought it wasn’t focused very well but maybe its just the resolution. I tried the following:
libcamera-vid -n -t 10000 -o test.h264 --viewfinder-width 3840 --viewfinder-height 2160 --width 3840 --height 2160 --level 4.2 --framerate 30 --autofocus-mode auto --save-pts timestamp.pts --denoise cdn_off
but got the error
ERROR: *** failed to start output streaming ***
- Any thoughts? Do you think its focus? Resolution?
- Anything I could improve in my higher resolution command?
My problem was not auto-focus but the resolution. I was able to get 4K to work with the following command:
libcamera-vid -t 20000 --width 3840 --height 2160 --framerate 18 --mode 3840:2160 --codec mjpeg -o output1.mjpeg
During preview this creates a pretty nice looking file. However, when I try to play it in VLC, it only shows first frame. I tried to convert it with ffmpeg and how some luck but not great. Does Arducam have any recommendations on how to convert mjpeg file to mp4?
The reason for this issue is that the sampling rate is inconsistent with the actual playback rate of the software. To resolve this, you may need to find the correct way to play the file. You may want to consider asking for assistance on the official Raspberry Pi forum.They have a lot of experts on this.
Hi Edward,
Thanks for suggestion. I did submit a question to Raspberry Pi. They did help a bit with the mjpeg to mp4 conversion. But I noted another issue. Whether I take a h.264 1k video or mjpeg 4k video, one camera always looks good but the others look pretty bad. It can’t be focus since I’m always moving around and the same camera is always the good one. Possibly hardware or software? Any thoughts?
Here are still shots from the videos:
h.264
mjpeg
Clearly the bottom right is significantly better in each video, every video/every time.
Here are the commands I am using:
h.264
libcamera-vid -n -t 10000 -o test.h264 --save-pts timestamps.txt --width 1920 --height 1080 --autofocus-mode auto --sharpness
mjpeg
libcamera-vid -t 20000 --sharpness 2 --width 3840 --height 2160 --framerate 18 --mode 3840:2160 --codec mjpeg -o output1.mjpeg
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Please adjust manually and record a video to check whether each camera’s focus function is working properly, following the example below.
Please don’t worry about this theme, they use the same repo, you just need to follow the red box
I ran the following commands:

First of all, you need to make sure that your version is above 5.15.84
uname -r
Install the Camera Driver

sudo rebeoot
I am now at
stevedalton@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -r
6.1.21-v8+
I then downloaded the manual focus python script:
Manual focus
Download the source code
git clone https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver.git
I think started a libcamera video with the following command:
stevedalton@raspberrypi:~ $ libcamera-vid -t 30000 -o test.h264 --save-pts timestamps.txt --width 1920 --height 1080 --autofocus-mode manual --sharpness 2
and started the manual focus script -
# Press the Up/Down Arrow for focus adjustment, press “ctrl + c” to save, or “r” to reset
cd Arducam-Pivariety-V4L2-Driver/focus
python3 FocuserExample.py -d /dev/v4l-subdev1
unlike your video (which was very helpful to know what was supposed to happen), nothing happened to image. It remained the same throughout the video.
I appreciate the held, and would be thankful if you can get me over this hump.For video streaming, could you simply use the simplest command ‘libcamera-still -t 0’ and then switch to the manual focus script for control? I hope to be able to record a video like I did before.
Hi Edward,
Thanks for working with me. I have a 3.3 MB *.mkv file. But when I try to attach it there is an error that says:
Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extensions: jpg, jpeg, png).
How did you post your video? Let me know and I will post.
But in running ‘libcamera-still -t 0’ and then trying to manual focus the video with the python script - nothing happened. to the appearance of the video - not like your video at all.
It may be that some formats are not supported, you can upload to the cloud disk, and then send me the sharing link.
I’m still investigating the cause of the problem, so I’m not sure what’s causing it yet. It’s maybe a very serious issue, and I need to meet with the relevant people to try to reproduce and identify the root cause. I estimate that it will take 1-2 weeks to complete my investigation, and I will provide you with an update as soon as I have more information. Is it okay if I get back to you in 1-2 weeks with an update?
Thanks for the response. Yes, of course I will wait as I haven’t been able to make any progress myself. But I do hope to get it working soonest. Let me know if you have any suggestions and I will be willing to try them.
Hi Edward,
Any update on getting a similar environment set-up? I’ve been monitoring the board trying to find some solutions but none yet. Some help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
After communication, we can help you with remote support. I will private message you an email address, please send me an email.
I figured out the problem. It is the camera covers. This solution correlates to the blurriness 100% of the time. Take them off, the image is perfect. Put them on the image is blurry. I tried changing the height/width thinking the more zoomed in image might affect the view or focus. I also cleaned them. Physically they all look made correctly. I pressed them on hard. I also tried the cable under the red frame versus over. Nothing worked, but its extremely predictive. Have you seen this before? Any suggestions?
Any update on my problem with the camera covers. I ended up using them without the camera covers, capturing perfect images. But the plastic lens with the red edge came off after a while. It seems the plastic cover is a good protection mechanism. I replaced the damaged one with a new camera from a second set of cameras. Once again, great images without the covers but blurry on the ones I put the covers. Any thoughts?
