Updates for Buddy 3D

I don't know why Prusa are selling this with its limited specification. There are supposed to be updates coming but obviously Prusa are in no rush to do that. Very disappointed with the camera and the lack of updates. I also find it difficult to believe that we can't power the camera from the onboard USB C.

I also think it's a shame that Prusa obviously only wants to sell the camera but doesn't offer any support. What annoys me even more is that this camera is not integrated into Home Assistant, even though Prusa has provided “PrusaLink” integrity for Home Assistant.Prusa, please listen to us.

RE: Updates for Buddy 3D

To be honest I think this camera is going to be a white elephant,   seeing that the core one is getting it's own camera and all efforts is going into the core one ..... It is now almost 4 months after the release and no news on extended functionality ..... I would like to see this camera working without sending images to the cloud, set my own interval of taking images time laps would me nice and to power off the camera when prints are done etc ....

My Buddy camera is showing images mostly in black and white. I agree it seems to be a bit of a white elephant and very disappointed that Prusa haven't updated it since it was purchased.

Is it a good idea to buy one now a days for my mk4s or should I just get a regular security camera from amazon at around the same price and set it up like usual? is there any brand recomended?

Don’t waste your money. I don’t know what is available for the MK4S but I would go down the IP camera route.
