CCTV Raspberry Pi Camera

thingiverse

This is a custom Raspberry Pi Camera w/Infrared and Power over Ethernet module. My first prototype was a sealed unit, but I quickly discovered that the IR emitted a lot of heat. Internal temperatures at night reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit. After installing a fan during the day, internal temperatures dropped to 80-81 degrees. At night with the IR on, temperatures remained steady at 83 degrees. This project is still in development, but I'm excited to share it publicly due to the long print times of all components and my demanding job schedule. I currently have two working prototypes and plan to create five more outdoor units.

However, I'm unsure about the 60-degree angle and may opt for a 45-degree version in future iterations. https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Infrared-Degree-Illuminator-Security/dp/B07PWM58B9/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=uxcell+72+led+850nm+ir+infrared+board&qid=1574557772&s=electronics&sr=1-3 NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS305) https://www.amazon.com/NETGEY-5-Port-Gigabit-Switch/dp/B004NQ6VZM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=NETGE+5-port+Gigabit+Ethernet&qid=1574557772&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I'm using a 2mm Plexiglas cover, cut to 77mm. The lens requires the glass to be in two pieces due to IR reflection. I'm working on a CNC machine to complete the project by the end of the year. Threaded items work well once cleaned with soap and water after supports are removed. I've included CAD designs created in DesignSpark, allowing users to modify them as needed. The picture is taken with the 15-degree housing, which doesn't work well with the Fisheye lens. Both housings are available in DesignSpark files. Can't wait for comments and remixes, but be easy on me – this is my first 3D printer project, and I still have much to learn.
