Birdhouse camera housing

prusaprinters

A top model birdhouse cam.Why is it round? Well, I made a modular birdhouse (see photo), any height, any diameter entrance, a hole in the bottom for drainage, A fine birdhouse I thought…but the birds did'nt like it. Probably like living in the restroom :-) So, what to do? Instead I made a wooden birdhouse and placed the camera-house on the top. Much better. Last year there were 9 (Cyanistes caeruleus) Blue Tit born and flew away.This year there were 5 Starling eggs bud sadly the were destroyed by a marten or a magpie.But now I wait for new guests.Both Birdhouses MotionEye's have been up and running for over a year now. And now the hardwareRaspberry PI 2/3/4I chose the Bright Pi module for IR-LED, A bit tricky to solder but I managed :-)https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/bright-pi-bright-white-ir-camera-light-raspberry-piAnd a Pi-Noir Camerahttps://uk.pi-supply.com/products/raspberry-pi-noir-infrared-camera-board-v2-1-8mp-1080p?_pos=1&_sid=5abfb40ba&_ss=rOne important thing about is about Focus, put some stuff in the bottom and set the focus of the PiNoir. You won't get any opportunity to do that when you've nailed the Birdhouse to the wall.Raspberry pi imagerhttps://www.raspberrypi.com/software/MotionEyeOshttps://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos/releasesThis one inspired mehttps://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/infrared-bird-box/6Don't forget to disable the lamps on the Raspberry Pi and the Camera module.Annoying for the birds if on.If the roof is flat then you can place the camera on top of it.15 degree plate is attached, any other angle? Say and I will fix one for you!Please let me know if there is someting that made you disappointed.I'll try to help!
