USB Camera for filming insects

Hardware Recommendations Asked by hey0 on August 27, 2021

I want to do a little study where I need to analyze the behaviour of insects like flies, bees and mosquitos. For this, I want to attach at least one USB camera to my computer, in order to do live analysis operations on the video feed.

I need a camera that is able to capture the insects in indoor settings (distance up to 2 or 3 meters). Can anyone recommend a USB camera with sufficient quality that would be able to do that?

Have you considered using a Raspberry Pi with a camera module? The camera can do 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps or VGA at 90fps so should hopefully be adequate quality for your application.

You can connect to the Raspberry Pi via Ethernet directly into your PC or connect to it remotely if it is on the same network as your PC. This would be a neat solution if you were to add multiple cameras.
