Raspberry Pi Zero W Security Camera using NoIR Camera.

thingiverse

This is a security camera enclosure designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Zero W in combination with a Raspberry Pi NoIR camera module. You can easily find these camera modules on AliExpress, Ebay, and other online marketplaces by searching for an OV5647 camera module paired with "3W IR LEDs". Although the LEDs are not actually 3 watts each, mine measured around 1 watt per unit, they still generate heat. To counteract this issue, a 4010 5-volt fan can be installed and connected directly to the Raspberry Pi's 5-volt pins. I used a simple transistor switch to only turn on the fan when the LEDs are activated. Please note that the Raspberry Pi Zero W has a smaller camera connector and requires a special cable. I used a 16 cm cable with an enlarged end, so make sure this is included in your kit or purchase it separately. My security camera is running the "motioneyeos" Linux distribution as its operating system. You can find more information about this OS on GitHub at https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki. The design includes several key components: * Box: This frame contains the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the fan. * Front: The front plate features the camera module and LEDs. * Arm: This arm connects the box to the wall mount. * Wall Mount: The wall mount has a clip that can be used to secure the power supply cable using a zip tie. * Extension Arm: This extra extension of the arm is necessary if you need to turn the camera more than 45 degrees. I did not include a fan guard in this design because there are already many high-quality 40 mm fan guards available on Thingiverse. The one I used is Pyrex238's 40mm Hexagon Fan Guard, which can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335067
