CHIP Case with battery and Web Camera mount.

thingiverse

Inspired by Owad's CHIPbag case, this custom enclosure is designed specifically to hold a Next Thing Co.'s CHIP Computer and Battery while being mounted securely to a wall. The front of the enclosure features mounting points where you can easily attach a Logictech c310 web camera. With Motioneyes software, the entire setup makes for an excellent security camera system at an affordable price point of under $50. You can find detailed instructions on how to install the software here: https://bbs.nextthing.co/t/build-a-full-featured-security-cam-for-cheap/12573. This custom enclosure fits a cost-effective 2000mah battery, which can be found here http://amzn.to/2iXl6AI. Alternatively, you can also use the Winged CHIP case w bat design that accommodates a larger 50mm wide, 2500mah Lipo battery available at http://amzn.to/2gVLrKN. To assemble the corner mount pieces, simply superglue them together, with the shorter piece on top. Then, you can attach the corner bracket to the back of the enclosure using double-sided tape and secure the assembled unit to a wall corner with additional double-sided thick tape. When it comes to cameras, the best value for money is the Logitech c310, which can be purchased on eBay for under $20. A good secondary option is this $15 camera from Amazon http://amzn.to/2j1AmsA. Please note that you may need to widen the camera mounts to use the second choice.

Post-Printing: Getting the camera on... This process can be quite finicky, so take your time. On either side of the original camera mount are rubber plugs that need to be removed by prying them out. The pin is secured in place with a screw that won't come loose easily, so use a 1/8 drill bit to drill it out and then carefully drive the mounting pin out without losing it - you'll need it later to attach the camera to the case. Once the camera has been separated from its original mount, discard the white ferrule in the camera side mount. When aligning the case mounts with the camera, be patient as this can be frustrating at times. A pair of needle-nose pliers will help you set the pin into place. If you're having trouble getting the pin to pass through the camera part of the mount, check for that white ferrule and discard it before trying again.
