Setting-up the camera is as simple as plugging in the ribbon cable into the camera and the Camera Serial Interface on the Raspberry Pi. If you are struggling, I suggest to follow the great and easy tutorial by the Raspberry Pi Foundation [here](https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-with-picamera){:target="_blank"}.

## Recording options with the Raspberry Pi
There are a variety of software packages to record with the Raspberry Pi. Here I provide a short description of some of the main solutions. For further details, follow the links provided below.
There are a variety of software packages to record with the Raspberry Pi. Here I provide a short description of some of the main solutions. For further details, follow the links provided below. Note that the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) changed the recording modules, so using an older OS such as Buster is recommended!

### raspicam
First, one can control the camera module directly from the command line with the native raspicam command line tools, which include `raspistill` to take still images and `raspivid` for videos. These provide a wide range of recording options, including the possibility to preview the camera stream, adjust the camera settings (e.g. contrast, brightness, saturation, iso, shutter speed), and set exposure mode and white balance.

The first thing to do is to select the Operating System. In general I suggest to choose the Raspberry Pi OS, although a range of other Operating Systems are available to select. By selecting the top option, the software will download the latest image file (>1gb) from the internet.

If you want to install the SD-card offline (or already have an image file on your computer), you need to select the *Use custom* option at the bottom of the list. The latest image files can be found online on the Raspberry Pi website [here](https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-32-bit).
*Note:* The latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) does not yet have good image and video recording support, so I would recommend to install the previous OS Buster. You can manually download it from [this page](https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/) under "raspios". Other OS can be found [here](https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-32-bit).

The good thing is that when you have already once downloaded the Raspberry Pi Image, you can use a cached version by selecting the second option in the list (*Raspberry pi OS (other)*, and then selecting your cached version.

If you want to use an image file (such as to install the SD-card offline), you need to select the *Use custom* option at the bottom of the list.

Next make sure your SD-card is mounted on your computer, click the *STORAGE* button, and select your SD-card. If it is not shown, try to remount it on your computer.
