Raspberry Pi Zero W Security Camera using NoIR Camera.

thingiverse

This is a security camera frame intended for the Raspberry Pi Zero W in combination with a Raspberry Pi NoIR camera module. You can find the camera modules everywhere on AliExpress, Ebay, ... Look for an OV5647 camera module together with "3W IR LEDs". The LEDs are not 3 W at all, mine came in at about 1 W per piece, but they can still heat up. To counteract this, a 4010 5 V fan can be installed. The fan can be connected directly to the 5 V pins of the Raspberry Pi. I used a simple transistor switch to turn it on only when the LEDs turn on. Note: the Raspberry Pi Zero W has a smaller camera connector and needs a special cable! I used a 16 cm cable that widens at the end. Make sure this is included in your kit or order it separately. My camera is running the "motioneyeos" linux distribution as its operating system. https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki The design includes the following objects: - Box: frame containing the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the fan. - Front: frontplate containing the camera module and LEDs. - Arm: arm connecting the box to the wall mount. - Wall Mount: the wall mount has a clip to fix the power supply cable using a zip tie. - Extension Arm: extra extension of the arm. Needs to be used if the camera needs to be turned more than 45 degrees. I did not include a fan guard as there already are a lot of 40 mm fan guards on Thingiverse. The fan guard I use is Pyrex238's 40mm Hexagon Fan Guard (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335067)
