Mounting a Creative Live! Cam Vista IM

thingiverse

Creative Live! Cam Vista IM sits proudly on the IKEA-Lack leg. The camera is connected to an OctoPi, which is a powerful tool for controlling the entire setup. In picture 4, you can see a clear shot of the camera in action. Pictures 5-7 are still experimental, as I'm trying to find the perfect position for the camera - adjusting its height to get the best possible view. For the holders, I recommend using either "Basis1.stl" or "Basis2.stl", depending on whether you want to place the camera on the right or left side. Only one part is required. To ensure proper installation, I suggest installing the camera upside down, which might seem counterintuitive but works surprisingly well. On the OctoPi, open the file /boot/octoprint.txt and add or modify the following line: camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -hf true -vf true". This will unlock the full potential of your Creative Live! Cam Vista IM, allowing it to capture high-quality footage at a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels. Before attaching the printed holder "Ball_Kamera.stl" to the camera, remove the original holder. Be gentle when inserting the new holder, as it may sit tightly in place. I recommend using short screws, approximately 3x8mm or shortened to fit the hollow table legs.
