thingiverse

Human: The Pigeon is a basic cloud home surveillance camera project that utilizes the Raspberry Pi Zero W single board computer ($10) to create an easy way to set up a functional cloud camera at a very low cost (~$20 total). A custom designed 3D printed enclosure fits the board and camera, with a wall mount included. The software features motion detection and Dropbox integration. Requirements: A Raspberry Pi Zero W running Raspbian and connected to the internet is necessary. The regular (no-wifi) Raspberry PI Zero also works but requires a usb wifi dongle that will stay out of the designed enclosure: buy a raspberry pi zero w A raspberry pi camera with cable is required: Buy it Optional: A long micro-usb power cable can be purchased for added convenience: Buy it M1.7x6mm thread self tapping screws are needed for the case lid, head combo machine screw with nut 6-32-inch x 1-inch for the adjustable support and m3*6 screws for the adjustable support link with the wall mount. For software installation instructions, check the github repository: also available on instructables Assembling is straightforward; use comments if questions arise. Apologies are made for confusing screw/bolt selections in this project. Print Settings: Printer: Qidi Tech 1 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 20%
