    official guide from purchase link

  3. Problems you were having?
    as it turns out i cant control cameras separately with this quad cam setup

  4. What help do you need?
    IMG-20230315-232719 hosted at ImgBB — ImgBB - currently i connect 2 cameras via CamArray hat to CAM0, but with this setup cameras are not separately controllable. this short wide ending cable is to connect the hat to RPI4. The cable thats coming from the camera gets thin at the end and is connected to the hat.

Is it possible for these cameras to purchase a cable thats wide at the end so i can connect them directly to RPI4 (CAM1, CAM0) instead of the hat? So I can control 2 cameras separately?

Or do i need some other cameras? Or can i buy some different dual camera adapter that will work with these cameras?

The four cameras on the hat have special firmware and cannot be used alone.

If you want to show only one camera on the hat, you can switch the channel.

is it possible to change firmware on these cameras?

Sorry, remote upgrade of this camera’s firmware is currently not supported.
