I recently purchased the KE and I am now thinking about getting the Nebula camera. There are a lot of people that said the camera sucked with the printer. Have the issues with the camera improved?
I have the Nebula cam on both my Ender-3 V3 and the plus. Not had any problems. Both are stock and not rooted.
One issue I had to work through is night setting. If the lighting isn’t quite bright enough it will show black and white. I had to brighten the room a little so the cam would show color.
There is also focus ring you can set on the front also.
Anything specific you were wondering about the cam…??
The main two issues I have seen people mention are night vision not working and the camera using a ton of storage off of nebula pad.
I like the night vision mode, means I can turn all the lights off in the workshop and still watch the print remotely. Something I can’t do with the Sonic Pad/Lenovo combination on my Ender5+, this complains that AI doesn’t have enough light and fails/pauses the print.
I use the camera on my ender 3 V3 SE with a rooted nebula pad. With the stock Creality pad, i had also no problems with the actual firmware. But if you get the camera, you should first update the camera firmware via pc because of a black and white problem. I was also reading that they already fixed an issue with night vision. For me it works very well.
I’m surprised that the camera has to be updated externally from the Nebula Pad since the pad has the ability to update its self.
I hope you see this reply since your original post is pretty old by now. I have the Ender 3 V3 SE with the stock pad. How did you get the camera to work? I just bought it and the instructions it came with are useless. I have a feeling the camera isn’t compatible with my printer and I’ll need to return it.
Stock pad it won’t work, you need a Nebula or Sonic Pad to get it to work.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.
If I were to get a sonic Pad for my Ender 3 V3 SE could I connect it with the camera and use Cura Slicer? Or do I have to use the Creality slicer?
Thanks in advance.
My V3SE is connected to a sonic pad, I have a Nebula camera attached downside of the sonic pad is you can only have 1 camera at a time. 2 or 3 printers but no more than 1 camera. I can use any slicer, in fact the Creality Print doesn’t really work without some different thinking. Orca works best for me. Cura should be ok, I shall have a try tomorrow. I think Prusa slicer works so Cura should.

Awesome. Have you noticed an improvement switching to the Sonic pad? And was it fairly easy to set up?
It was quite easy, but a little nerve racking flashing the firmware to change from Marlin to Klipper.
