  5. Problems you were having?
    When recording video in any resolution, 2 cameras lag behind the other 2. In other words, the videos are not synchronized completely. This spoils absolutely all performance for non-static computer vision. It’s not a lot, but if you stop the video, you can see the differences.

Hi @watermelon0guy,

Note 1 under Arducam 12MP*4 Quadrascopic Camera Bundle Kit for Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson Nano/Xavier NX, Four IMX477 Color Camera Modules and Camarray Camera HAT says:

The four-channel camera adopts the 2×2 synthesis method. The images of cameras 0 and 1 are completely synchronized, the images of cameras 2 and 3 are completely synchronized, and the images of cameras 2/3 are one frame behind the images of cameras 0/1.

Although I have a quadcam kit (with different cameras), I am not using it for synchronized frames, so I don’t know if there is any workaround for your problem. Maybe someone else knows?
