We've been receiving numerous feedback and suggestions from users regarding the first-generation reCamera. Indeed, during our use of the first generation, we occasionally encountered areas where the user experience wasn't yet sufficiently friendly.

Therefore, before finalizing the form factor of the second generation, we will continue to conduct ongoing testing and development and update our test logs here on a regular basis.

We often encounter difficulties when using the reCamera 2002w:

1. Obtaining the IP address during initial setup – For example, immediately after connecting the Ethernet cable to the reCamera.
2. Verifying real-time configuration – Such as confirming whether the current resolution, frame rate (FPS), and video recording status are functioning as intended.
3. Monitoring the camera’s field of view – When mounted in inaccessible locations (e.g., a ceiling corner), it is impossible to simultaneously view the live feed via a web interface.

To address these issues, we have decided to integrate a small SPI display (not the Raspberry Pi screen) into our next-generation reCamera hardware.

We tested two different size display (1.69 and 1.47 inch), and designed a simple UI on it.
