What to know before buying

The listing describes 160×120 as native resolution and 320×240 as software-enhanced resolution. Treat the latter as enhanced output, not native sensor resolution. Temperature accuracy and runtime are listing claims, not independently established results. Compatibility depends on a suitable USB-C device. The listing's references to a 19-inch extension cable and an included “Extensive Cable” do not clearly establish whether these are the same item.
